WEEDS, Ruby Elizabeth (née Reid)

26.2.1928 — 2.1.2023

Loved wife of the late Ken (d.1994). Elizabeth and Mark (Gibb), John and Pam, Paul and Denise (Brisbane) sadly advise the passing of their dear mum, on 2 January 2023, in her 95th year. Ruby was a much loved Mum, Grandma, Grandmama, Sister, Aunty with family globally in England, Northern Ireland, Australia and South Africa. Ruby was also a dear and, enduring friend to many. In Mum’s own words, “A life lived well, shared with wonderful family and friends, in places I wouldn’t have dreamt of as a red-headed-twin growing up in Wellington.”


Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard still loved, still missed and very dearly loved.


The family would like to acknowledge the care and support that was given to mum by staff at Shona McFarlane Village, with special thanks to the Tulip Ward over the recent weeks. Messages can be forwarded to
