RUTH OLFMAN Ruth Olfman (nee Myerson) was born in Winnipeg on June 26, 1922. She was a lifelong resident of Winnipeg. Ruth married her husband Jack on February 25, 1951. Their marriage was a long and happy one; sadly Ruth became a widow when Jack's spirit left this world on October 28, 1997. They had two children, Shawn (1954) and Jerry (1958). Ruth devoted herself to raising her family during her sons' childhood and teenage years.

After retiring from her position running the Golden Age Club, Ruth continued to help seniors as a volunteer at the Gwen Secter Creative Living Center, and then as the president of the Gwen Secter.
