Ruben Schmidt

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ruben Schmidt on Sunday, November 15, 2015 at the age of 85, at Calgary, Alberta. Ruben will be lovingly remembered by his wife Lorraine, his children Arlen (Joyce), Merlin, Melden (Stacey), Colleen (Jeff), and Charleen; and his grandchildren Jacob, Adrienne, Adam, Daniel, Nicola, Branden, and Nicholas. Ruben also leaves behind his brothers Norman (Rose) and Herman (Helen), as well as other extended family members, brother and sister in laws, numerous nieces and nephews, and many dear friends. Ruben was predeceased by his parents, August and Nadina, his sister Ruth, his brother Hilbert, and grandson Nathan. Ruben was a kind, selfless man who always had time for friends and family. He farmed outside of Lethbridge, Alberta for many years before he and Lorraine decided to retire in Calgary, Alberta. Although retired from farming, Ruben still kept himself busy; he was very involved with his church and church community, volunteering anywhere he could. A memorial service will be held at Centre Street Church Main Campus, 3900 2nd Street N.E. Calgary, on Friday, November 20, 2015 at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Centre Street Church, a place close to Ruben’s heart.
