She was 99 years of age. Ruth was born to Walter and Bertha (nee Michel) Gloeden at home on their farm east of Middle Lake on Wednesday, September 6, 1916. She grew up there and attended Middle Lake Country School and then Humboldt Collegiate Institute. Following her high school education, Ruth took a hairdressing course and was employed at a few beauty parlours in Humboldt. On April 22, 1940, she married Carl Schopp in Humboldt. After their marriage, they resided in Lanigan where they operated a general store. In 1976, due to Carl’s failing health, the couple retired and moved back to Humboldt. Carl passed away in 1988.Ìý Ruth continued to live in Humboldt for another year and then relocated to Saskatoon.

Over the years, her favorite pastimes were knitting and doing petit point. Ruth is survived by numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and many, many friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Carl Schopp; parents, Walter and Bertha (nee Michel) Gloeden; and by three brothers and two sisters: Leo (Louise) Gloeden, Lena (Fritz) Heidecker, Trudy (Ben) Kaun, Hugo (Zetta) Gloeden, and Otto (Elsie) Gloeden.
