Ruth-Anne came to Cochrane in 1991 and fell in love with this amazing community. Shortly after coming to Cochrane she joined the parish of All Saints Anglican Church. Both of her children were baptized in the old church which is now proudly joined to the Bethany Care Centre. She received her post secondary degrees in Fine Arts and education at the University of Calgary. She is amazed to see how God works as she is now working there as an education consultant, within the Cumming School of Medicine. When not at work or home with her beloved Boston Terriers, she can be found out horseback riding or participating in local theatre productions.
Another great passion of hers is serving Christ through mission work with children. She has worked on projects in Haiti and in South Africa. Currently, she is on the board of directors for Hope in the Dark which is a Canadian registered charity that serves impoverished children and their parents living in precarious physical and social conditions. The program is located in the slums outside Bucaramanga, Colombia and has been in operation since 2015. For more information contact Ruth-Anne by email.
