GRAY (PEAKE), Ruth Marguerite, age 102 of Halifax, formerly of Enfield, passed away on January 15, 2015 in the Continuing Care Unit, VG Site, QEII Health Sciences Centre, Halifax. Born in Halifax, she was a daughter of the late Charlie and Anne (Horne) Peake. Ruth, nicknamed "Super Aunt Ruth", was a free loving spirit to all. Ruth danced to the music of life in awe and wonder, making friends in an instant. Ruth was game for anything from swimming, skating, bowling, gardening and much more. Ruth enjoyed knitting, especially the finger puppets she knitted for children at the IWK. Every encounter would leave you feeling loved and better about life. She was predeceased by her husband, Reginald Gray; sisters, Eleanor, Margaret, Loretta and Mary Agnes; brothers, Clement, Charles, Andy and William.
