Nellie Mary Ryks

Our mother loved to garden, cook delicious meals, watch Christian programs, hockey and curling, read the Holy Bible, Christian books, and community history books, and visit with family and friends.

Our mother will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her son Ronald Ryks, daughter Donna (Glenn) Gummow, son in law David Schaffrick, grandchildren Lindy and Miles Schaffrick and Dalton, Kristin, and Abigale Gummow, brother in law Elmer (Pam) Ryks, sister in laws Terry, Sherry, and Sharlene Ryks as well as other family and good friends.

Our mother was predeceased by her husband Willie Ryks in 2009 and her daughter Karen Schaffrick in 2011 as well as her parents Adolf and Maria Judt, sister Anna, and brothers John, Adolf, Alexander, Ewald and William, brother in laws Harold, Walter, Werner, Leonard and John Ryks.

The family would like to thank Dr. Tawfik for his thorough and thoughtful care and the nursing staff at the Barrhead Healthcare Centre for their compassionate care, especially Catlyn for encouraging our mother. Thank you also to all those family and friends that helped mom and showed her kindness and love throughout her life.

Rest in peace mom and it is our fond hope to see you again soon when Jesus comes to take His people to be with Him for all eternity.
