Ruth Piccini

Tribute
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, sister, aunt, grandmother , great-grandmother and friend to many.
Ruth was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. She is survived by her three sons Lorne Wuori (Heather) of Nelson, Neil Wuori of Nelson, and Greg Hebig (Arlene) of Chilliwack and her daughter Holly Magoon (Dwayne) of Golden. Grandchildren Laura Hale (Andrew) of Langley, Christian Bentley of Vernon, Megan Bentley of Golden, Cole and Corrie Hebig of Chilliwack, and great-grandson Wyatt Keller of Golden. Brothers John Miller of Red Deer and Ray Miller of Quesnel.
She was predeceased by her husband Roland Wuori (1957), her husband Pic Piccini (2003), her brothers Jim Miller and Fred Miller, and her sisters Mary LaBounty, Bessie Bainbridge, and Dot MacDonald.
Ruth worked many jobs from a very young age until her retirement at 67. She was also a devoted volunteer. Ruth enjoyed skiing, tennis, bowling, curling, reading, painting, gardening, and being with friends and family, and especially her golf and bowling buddies.
She maintained many long-term warm and close friendships. She was our hero, mentor, confidante and friend, as the matriarch of our loving family.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Penticton Hospital, the staff at Andy Moog Hospice House, and special thanks to Dr. Lawrie.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Ruth’s memory are gratefully accepted for the Penticton Hospital for cancer diagnostic equipment.

I will miss my Auntie Ruth so much. She was a wonderful lady. We had so many fun trips to California, Alaska, Grand Canyon etc. I cant remember how many hours we spent giggling. One thing that death cannot destroy is memories. I have a heart full of happy memories.
To the family…Lorne, Neil, Holly and Greg….you were lucky to have such a wonderful mother. She is at peace now and will always be near you.
