It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of our mom, Ruth Gyulai (née Boelke), of Vancouver, BC, on her 87th birthday. She was born to Gust and Adel Boelke in Wetaskiwin, AB.

Ruth will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Raymond; her children, Marilyn (John), Mark (Glynis), and Michelle (Matt); her seven grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren; as well as Raymond’s son, Danny, and his entire family, all of whom brought her great pride and joy throughout her life.

Being born into a family of nine children helped shape Ruth’s strong sense of independence and determination, qualities that carried her through every stage of life with remarkable resilience. This was especially evident in her courageous and successful battle with breast cancer.

Ruth passed down her passion for crocheting, baking, and reading mystery novels to all who knew her. She also loved doing puzzles, birdwatching, and stargazing with those around her.

Her memory will live in our hearts forever.

 A celebration of life will be held;

Sunday, June 7,2026 between 1-3 pm at Le Coeur Co-op, 3502 Cordiale Dr, Vancouver, BC
