Born Ruth J. Ellis in 1880 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Ruth Moffett grew up in a traditional Baptist home.
In 1912 she began an ardent search for 'Abdu'1-Baha whom she saw briefly from a train platform in Chicago. She recalled that moment. "He looked up at me, smiled and raised His hand." Finally, having attended one of 'Abdu'l-Baha's lectures, Ruth became an active Baha'i in 1919 and began her unceasing and concentrated efforts toward promoting the Message of Baha'u'llah.
