Ruth Elisabeth Leppky, 72, of Abbotsford, BC left us suddenly to be with Jesus on June 11, 2023 with her family by her side.

Ruth met her husband Dave while attending Miller Bible Institute in 1968. They were married in Kelowna July 8, 1972 in a double wedding with her youngest sister Gloria. There she and Dave raised their three children before moving to Abbotsford in 1988. Ruth spent her professional career in roles as a switchboard operator, bank teller, and for many years was the facilities coordinator at Central Heights Church. Ruth found her true calling with the title of "Grandma." Her grandchildren, Sydney, Taryn, Nathanael, Miles, Elias, Emmerich, Edmond and Ewan gave Ruth an immeasurable amount of joy.
