Ruth Wiebe, a generous supporter of Mennonite Literary Society 2.0 and its publication Rhubarb, died unexpectedly n St. Boniface Hospital June 2, 2018 in Winnipeg at the age of 71.
“I always knew I could give Ruth a call if I needed to check reality – or fantasy for that matter. It’s going to take a while for her passing to “sink in.” First encountered her sparkle, her smile, her laughter in German classes at the U of M. My university and my Ruth memories are inextricably interwoven. And then Ruth volunteered with the Mennonite Literary Society and Rhubarb Magazine and she made this a fun project, also supporting our projects generously. She is missed, but her smiles and laughter remain strong in our hearts!” – Posted by: My brother, Garry Enns (Good friend) on: Jun 21, 2018
