Hutton (Grieve): Ruby Olive, 94 years of age, passed away peacefully at her residence at Fairview Home on Saturday, October 19, 2002. Ruby was born to Austin and Lovina Swerdfeger at Lauder, Manitoba on July 24, 1908 and she attended Truro and Lauder schools. In December 1926, she married Oliver Grieve and together raised five children. For many years they lived in Brandon for the winters, returning to Lauder to farm in the summer. Ruby worked many long hours, devoting her time to raising her family and working on the farm. Oliver passed away in June 1963. In 1965, Ruby decided to make a permanent move to Brandon, where she remained until 1977 when she married Geoffrey Hutton of Virden. Ruby and Geoff had 22 good years together, doing some traveling and visiting and playing cards with their many friends at Virden. The highlight of the day was going to the Chicken Chef for coffee. Ruby had a good sense of humor and loved to tell jokes. She was well liked by all who knew her and had many friends. Besides her parents, Ruby was predeceased by her two sons, Alvin and Elmer in 1949; two brothers, Herbert and Howard Swerdfeger; her first husband, Oliver Grieve and her second husband, Geoffrey Hutton.
