Ruth Marie Klaudt was born July 28th, 1930 in Medicine Hat. She lived in a small country home near Hilda, Alberta. As a young woman, she moved to Medicine Hat and worked at the glass factory in Redcliff. On August 13, 1950 she married the love of her life Henry Klaudt. They lived in a few rental homes before building theirbeautiful brick dream home in Medicine Hat. Ruth was truly blessed with the gift to do many different crafts, but she especially enjoyed baking. Her kuchen, monster cookies, jam jams, butter horns and buns were a staple in her family and were always a hit at family gatherings. Anyone who tasted her baking would always come back for more. Anytime her church hosted an activity, Ruth would receive a request for her sweet tooth delights. She would often send her treats along with the Medicine Hat Tigers on road trips. We would often suggest that her baking was a large part of the Tiger’s Memorial Cup success. Ruth attended and was a member of Temple Baptist Church. Her biggest contribution to her church was the gift of hospitality. She loved housing some of the visiting church members and children’s choirs as they travelled through the city and needed a bed to sleep for the night. She provided many ice cream pails full of cookies for Pinecrest Baptist Bible camp each summer. She even stepped up as camp cook many times. Ruth and Henry loved to entertain people in their home and enjoyed playing cards and board games. They also loved watching their favourite TV shows Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Dr. Jeremia. Ruth spent the past six years at the South Country Village. She met a lot of people there and her gifts of caring and respecting the staff and residents was a mutual, loving relationship. Ruth had previously volunteered at South Country Village when her mother attended there. She spent many of her volunteer hours helping in the kitchen. They are still using some of her cookbooks. But Ruth’s most amazing quality was the love for her personal saviour, Jesus Christ. She was a humble and loving woman that was obedient to God. She was always careful in her thoughts and actions and prayerful when seeking God’s will. She was always an example of God’s grace to those around her, and would lead by example by infrequently using ill words about others. She was certainly a beautiful woman and will always be remembered by her giggles, big smile, and a spectacular example of God’s grace. Ruth passed away peacefully at her home July 9th, 2024. The family will celebrate memories and find comfort with the difference that Ruth has made in their lives. She has left to be in God’s hands. There is no better place to retire to. We love you. The funeral service will be held in the PATTISON FUNERAL HOME & CELEBRATION OF LIFE CENTRE on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. The service will be live-streamed.
