Ruth Jorgensen

1924-2021

Passed away into the arms of her Lord & Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Predeceased by husband Arne Carlo Jens Peter Jorgensen and son Philip Jorgensen (Val). Survived by son Henrik (Janine) Jorgensen and Annemette (Peter) Barnett and grandchildren: Anita B; Nicole J; Ryan J; and Kristopher J.

Rejoicing now with the angels in heaven.

Born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark to a very musical family; the middle of 8 children! Ruth grew up singing and playing the guitar. The Danes had a song for absolutely everything!

In 1958 Ruth, along with husband Arne and two small children, Annemette & Henrik immigrated to Canada where two of Ruth's sisters and families were residing (Vancouver & Woodfibre, BC) Ruth trained as an RN in Denmark and continued working as an RN in Canada. Youngest son Philip was born shortly after arriving in Canada. Ruth & Arne also sang with the Nielsen Family Singers in BC

After retirement, Ruth & Arne moved to Salmon Arm, BC where they enjoyed many happy years. They also joined the Shuswap Singers (a community choir). Ruth was also involved in the S.A. knitting club....She enjoyed a lifetime of knitting of which a lot of family were recipients of socks!

Following Arne's passing, she moved to Calgary with son Philip and then in 2017 she moved to Edmonton (Annemette) where she spent her remaining years enjoying life in her little 'cubby' apartment at the Waterford of Summerlea! She enjoyed the folks and all of the activities there.

Ruth had a deep faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and was an encourager; prayer warrior; gentle & kind; a willing listener with a tremendously positive outlook on life.

She will be greatly missed.
