Ruby MaySEARLEPeacefully on 6th August at Heartlands Hospital. Born in Kings Cross, London and married Reginald (Reg) J Searle, Police Constable in 1939 then moved to Court Lane, where she remained in the same house until 2010 before moving into St Anthonys, followed by the past two years at Boldmere Court Nursing Home. Predeceased by husband Reg in 1991 and her brother Eric Kempster of London in 1980. Survived by her two sons Robin (Ria) and Ian (Carol). Remembered as Nana to Jennifer, Richard, Andrea, David and John Paul and Great-Nana to Jake, Kaylum, Lily, Kadance, Phoenix and Henry-Robin, all in Canada. Ruby was heavily involved with Boldmere Cubs and Scouts, where Reg served as Akela and group Scout Master for many years. Ruby and Reg were members of the 67th Club and were very involved with the Music Hall where Ruby really showed her talent in designing and running the team making all the costumes. That same talent was then used in the Sutton Gang Show, before Ruby moved to the "Big Leagues" the Handsworth Gang Show at the Aston Hippodrome where she remained as Costume designer for 20 plus years. Ruby has been cremated and a Memorial Service will be conducted when her ashes are laid to rest at Boldmere Parish Church, on Thursday 1st October at 11.00am. Thank you to all the staff at Boldmere Court Nursing Home who provided Ruby with tender loving care whilst in their hands. Also the Searle Family wishes to thank Mal and Alan Smith for all their years of help, and for being the eyes and ears for the Searle Family living in Canada. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Boldmere Cubs and Scouts would be greatly appreciated. September 1919 -August 2015
