But the snow was so deep that Anita had a hard time wading through it and ended up having a massive heart attack and died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allan Ruttan not only lost his home on Christmas Day but his wife of 37 years. He is staying with his daughter at the moment and his niece, Judy Vanclieaf, has started a GoFundMe campaign to help her elderly uncle get back on his feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUncle Allan is staying with his one daughter Vanessa, so he has a roof over his head for now. There will be other things he will need as he processes his situation and comes out of the shock over the next few months of losing his wife of 37 years and his home,\u201d states Vanclieaf on the gofundme page which has been opened for him. \u201cAnything you can contribute will be gratefully received.
