Mr. Speaker, Anna Marguerite Ruff, known as Peggy, born August 7, 1922, passed away on September 10 at the young age of 100. She was number nine of 11 kids, mother of five, grandmother of 14, great-grandmother of 23 and great-great-grandmother of one. I could easily talk about grandma for hours, and I have. She was legendary across the Canadian Armed Forces, including Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq. I asked family to give me one word to describe her and here are some of those words: applesauce; stellar; tenderhearted; honest; funny; strong; feisty; clever; unforgettable; caring; tomato soup, and that is world famous; and family. Grandma played golf into her 80s and was a huge Toronto Blue Jays fan. She loved cribbage and was a provincial champion just shy of her 95th birthday, even though she was legally blind. Grandma made a huge impact on a lot of different organizations in the community. Whether it was the ladies’ auxiliary, the legion, different church groups, seniors or many more, grandma was respected by all. She was stubborn, a trait she clearly passed onto her children. Thankfully, it skipped a generation and her grandkids did not inherit it. However, I can attest first-hand that her great-grandchildren did. I love my grandma. Her whole family loves her. She will be missed.
