With deep sadness, we share that our beloved wife and mother, Ruth Pearl Kraitberg born to Annie and Isaac Minuk of Winnipeg Manitoba, passed away peacefully on May 19th, 2025, at the age of 86. Cherished sister to Irene (Izzie), Shirley (Phil) and Sid (Ricki). Adored wife of 64 years to Sid Kraitberg, devoted mother to her two children, Ari (Helene) and Rea (Mark); 6 grandchildren, Joshua (Diana), Eden (Tal), Sarah, Michael, Amanda, David and 1 great- grandchild, Ottavia and a presence in the lives of all who knew her.  Her strength, strong will, desire for life and sense of humour will be deeply missed but forever remembered. As we grieve this loss, we also give thanks for the many years we were blessed to have her in our lives.
