Obituary For Ruth Charlotte Hauer Christensen

Ruth Christensen, resident of St. Albert, AB, went to be with the Lord she loved on Thursday, December 31, 2020, at the age of 93 years.

Ruth grew up in Bruderheim, AB. In her teen years, she attended the Alberta Bible Institute, a highlight in her life. Following her marriage to Ken, she moved to the Sexsmith, AB, area, where she was blessed with two sons, Wayne and Dale. At age 45, she attended Grande Prairie Regional College. She went on to work in finance at Canfor Lumber and for the Federal Government.

She was an excellent cook and was skilled in sewing and knitting. She was adventurous and enjoyed travelling. She will be remembered for her kind, loving heart and all that she did to care for those around her. Ruth was a wonderful grandmother to Greg and Lisa and was completely delighted to become a great-grandmother to Joshua.

Ruth will be forever missed by her sons Wayne (Sylvia) and Dale (Cathie Lou); grandchildren Greg (Julianna) and Lisa; great-grandson Joshua; sister Rosalie; brother Wesley (Elfrieda); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.

She is predeceased by her parents; husband Ken; siblings: Reuben, Emil and Margaret; and granddaughter Lynn.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private family Service will be held on Thursday, January 7, 2021, at 1:00pm. Service will be available to watch via Livestream on the obituary page on the Oliver’s Funeral Home website 10-20 minutes before the start of the service. Interment to follow at the Norden Cemetery.

Sending our condolences. Ruth was such a pleasant and positive person. Always admired her for going to college when she did. Enjoyed our visits with her. Dale and Cathie, you were a great example of how to care for your parents. While Ruth was attending GBF, it was so neat to meet you periodically. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our sincere condolences to Ruthâ??s family. I worked with Ruth at Canfor and after would run into her now and then. She was always ready for a friendly chat. Ruth was a very hard working and friendly person. We watched the meaningful service on line today which was a great and well deserved tribute to her busy but wonderful life. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
