Ruby Sonja Meyer went to be with her Lord and Savior September 28, 2021. She was born January 12, 1939 in Didsbury, Alberta to Herman and Clara Dageforde. She was the youngest of 5 children.
She attended Westcott Country School and Didsbury High School. She married her childhood sweetheart, Jack Meyer, on May 3, 1958. Their farms were 4 miles apart on the Westcott road. They attended the same high school, rode the same school bus and attended the same church. They had 2 children, a daughter Wendy, and a son Brent.

They retired in 2004.
She was a shy, compassionate, loving, Christian woman of faith with a giving heart. Family, friends and church were very important to her. She was interested in genealogy, scrapbooks, photo albums, her family history, dolls and stamps. Other interests included figure skating, sports, hockey, softball and the great outdoors-God's country.
