She was predeceased by husband John New and daughter Barbara Lindberg, and is survived by grandchildren Valerie and Erin Jones; Kelsey, Chris, and Justin Lindberg; Robyn and Maggie McPherson; and six great-grandchildren.

Born in Edmonton, Ruth Amy Gillis was the last of eight children born to Dorothy Rose (Milner) and John William Gillis. Her natural musical talent was recognized very young and was nurtured by Edmonton’s finest music teachers. By the time she was a teenager she was recognized as a soprano soloist of immense potential and shone in festivals and recitals.

After finishing at Victoria High School Ruth received a scholarship to study opera at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. In addition to her studies she performed with the Opera Festival of Toronto, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and in recital with Jon Vickers.

Ruth returned to Edmonton to marry John New whom she had met through their shared love of music and singing in the All Saints’ Cathedral choir. She was quickly embraced by Edmonton audiences and over the years would be a featured soloist with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Edmonton Civic Opera, Edmonton Opera, Edmonton Pops Orchestra, Edmonton Mendelssohn Choir, Victoria Gilbert & Sullivan Operatic Society, Richard Eaton Singers and more.

She was much sought after as a vocal teacher, and a soloist for weddings, funerals, and in many of Edmonton’s churches where husband John was often the choir director. Ruth would also become a mainstay in Edmonton choirs Da Camera and the Richard Eaton Singers.

In addition to her singing career, Ruth was a wonderful mother to her three daughters; a fun-loving favourite aunt; a doting grandmother; the life of any party; an impressive seamstress and needlepoint enthusiast; and an avid gardener. She supported many charities and was a longtime volunteer with the Edmonton Opera Guild.

Even in the latter stages of dementia Ruth could still fill a room with her spirit and joy. The family would like to gratefully thank the Good Samaritan Society and the staff at Wedman House and the Gerald Zetter Centre for their loving care.

Trinity Funeral Home | Edmonton ABinformation regarding Ruth Frances Wasylenko

Sept. 5,1953 – April 16 2017 (Easter Sunday)

Born in Regina, Sk. and raised in Calgary, Ab., Ruth was the eldest of 6 children in a busy and faith-filled family. There she was nurtured in the Roman Catholic tradition that would be the touchstone of her entire life. She served as a youth minister, teacher and chaplain. Ruth pushed many edges, becoming a bus driver while a young nun and riding a Vespa. She developed interests in sports, music and wood-working. Ruth loved learning and achieved two Master’s degrees. She always delighted in children and never really left behind her role as teacher. Illness, first fibromyalgia and then cancer, invited her to find her value simply in being rather than in what she could do.

Ruth was esteemed by many people, who witnessed both her love of the Gospel and her radical choices to live that Gospel. She challenged the hierarchical and patriarchal structures of the Church she loved so much by heeding the call to be ordained as a Roman Catholic Woman Priest.

She will be mourned by her soul friend, Jocelyne Roy; her sisters Joanne Mercier and Carolyn (Robert) Mercier; brothers Michael (Sharon); Eric (Louise); Tom (Teresa); numerous nephews, nieces, great nephews and nieces; many friends; members of Emmaus Inclusive Catholic Community and her sister priests. She was predeceased by her mother Loretta (Ehman) on Dec. 4,1997 and her father Alex on Jan. 20, 2005.
