A Tribute to Mrs. Ruby John
Mrs. Ruby John (sister of SAAA's long time member, Mr. Walton
Dawson) passed away in Pune, Maharashtra, on Sunday November 6,
2011 at Ruby Hall Nursing Home, the same hospital she
passionately served as a nurse all her career life.
Graduating as a registered nurse from the Nursing School at
Nuzvid, Andhra Pradesh, Mrs. Ruby John, personified the true
essence and principles of nursing not only in her professional
life but also in her personal life that had touched the lives of
all those who came into contact with her. Her profound
generosity, compassion, concern and selfless service have
endeared her to the hearts of one and all in Salibusry Park, in
the Adventist community, and the society in general, both in
India and abroad.
She leaves behind her two children Bobby and Lizzy, and a
grandchild, Sara who was her joy and pride; her siblings and a
multitude of relatives and friends.
SAAA offers its deepest condolences to the family of this
departed sister in Christ and invites all those reading this
tribute to pray for this family to share in the immeasurable
pain, sadness and loss of this precious soul with the hope that
in the near future, we will be able to see her again along with
all the other believers. (Any considerate responses could be
directed to waltondawson@aol.com).
