We sadly announce the passing of our mom, Ruby May Rice, who passed away on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at the age of 101 years. She was born in 1920 in Bear River, NS to Arch and Hilda Milbury. She married Boyd Rice in 1938 and moved to Carnduff, SK, later moving to Winnipeg where she lived for many years. She moved to Medicine Hat, AB in 2001 to live with her daughter, Bonny.

Mom loved to travel, and was able to travel to many places, including Europe, nine Canadian provinces, and many states in the US, including Florida, Texas, Hawaii, and Alaska. She made many trips to visit family in Nova Scotia. Mom stayed fit by walking many miles and she loved to be on the go; she was a great shopper.
