Ruby, age 90, peacefully passed away at home on July 24, 2015 and is now reunited with all her loved ones.
Born February 13, 1925, in Geneva, Idaho, to John H. and Gertrude Marx Boehme.

Ruby received her RN training through the Army Cadet Corps in 1946. She worked at various hospitals and in 1948 she moved to Park City, UT to work at the Miner’s Hospital. She met the man of her dreams, Clarence Pedersen, and got married October 18, 1949 in Ely, Nevada. They were later sealed in the Provo Temple. During her 35 years as a Registered Nurse, Ruby selflessly devoted her life to taking care of her patients from nursery age on up. When Clarence got Parkinson’s Disease she took wonderful care of him.

Ruby and Clarence were affectionately known as “The Peds”. Many family members remember camping and fishing trips to the Uintahs where Clarence caught the trout and Ruby fried them! She will be missed, but never forgotten.

Ruby is preceded in death by her husband, parents, eight sisters and three brothers. She is survived by one brother, Donald Boehme and numerous nieces and nephews.
