It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the peaceful passing of Ruby on May 19, 2020, at age 78 in Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital, Musquodoboit Harbour. She was a cancer survivor and fought a brave and stoic battle against macular degeneration and heart disease. Ruby was born in Musquodoboit Harbour a daughter of the late Cameron and Hazel (Bond) Mosher. Her family moved to Upper Musquodoboit where Ruby grew up and attended Henry School and Musquodoboit Rural High School. In her early years she worked for Zellers in Truro and later with Maritime Tel and Tel. After she married the love of her life, Arthur, they moved to Mooseland where they raised their three girls. After the girls grew up, Ruby went to work for Nova Trucking Ltd. as a bookkeeper for 20 years. Ruby was a very community oriented person and very active in supporting her community over the years. She was a former member of the St. Thomas ACW, the Mooseland Fire Hall, and the Mooseland Community Association. Ruby is survived by her husband, Arthur; daughters, Wanda (Boyd Prest), Sherry (Dwayne Murphy) and Tanya (Brian Bowser); grandchildren, Jonathan Murphy (Britney), Katelyn Murphy and Logan Bowser; great-grandchildren, Isabelle Murphy and Zachery Murphy.

Ruby was predeceased by brother, Kenneth (Eileen) Mosher; sister, Marion (Vaughn) Kindervater; sisters-in-law, Dorothy Mosher and Maxine Mosher; and nephew, Anthony Mosher. The family would like to thank the caring staff of Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital, especially Dr. Karl Tenneson and Dr. Rob Merritt and all the nurses who cared for Mom as their own. They would also like to thank the community of Mooseland who were there when Mom called. Special thanks to Ruby’s dear friend, Marilyn Prest, who was only a phone call away and a tremendous support through all of Ruby’s illnesses. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic there will be no funeral.
