Ruth was very active in civic affairs and the LDS Church. The DUP James Hendricks Camp and Relic Hall in Richmond and the Richmond Stake Relief Society held special places in her heart, and she devoted countless hours to both. Ruth was a friend to everyone she met and loved by many people.

(Christy) of Richmond, Ruth Ann (Gary) Chambers of North Logan, 30 grandchildren, 68 great grandchildren, and three stepchildren and their families: Trudy (Alan) Boyack of St. George, Edward N.
