Ruth Elisabeth Barkla (nee Stewart)

20.5.1957 – 6.7.2025. Dearly loved Wife of Ron (Dec). Daughter of Beth and Fraie (Dec) Stewart. Loved sister of Anne, Leonie, Merrill and Alison. Devoted Mother to Rebekah, Michelle & James. Proud & Adoring Grandma to Kobe, Emma, Jack & Nick, & Harlow. Mate more than Mother-in-law to Ken.

At peace and at last reunited with her beloved Ron.

Mum, you were never more than a phone call away when I needed you, regardless of the time of day. Always there to support me achieving my dreams. You adored your grandkids and gave them so much support and experiences they will never forget. Although I’d happily forget the seals! Rebekah.

Thanks for everything Mum, for never giving up on me. For teaching me so much. From how to cook a Pav to changing the brake pads on my car, and a hell of a lot in between. You were a world of knowledge. Thank you for always making yourself available for Kobe. You were the epitome of strength, courage, and determination. Rest easy now. Michelle & Kobe.

Mum, you were an amazing person, nothing was ever too much for you! You took every challenge in life that was thrown at you head on, but it’s now time for you to rest and be at peace alongside Dad. James.

Thank you for all places you took me and experiences you shared with me. I’ll always miss having another adventure with you. Love Emma.

I’ll miss every time I said hi to you, and every time I said goodbye to you. I’ll miss everything in between that even more. I’ll forever miss you and you’ll always be an important part of my life. Love Jack.
