Ruth Louise Goodmonson was born to Sydney and Amelia (Pedersen) Goodmonson on February 9, 1920, in Murray County, Minnesota. She grew up and attended school in the Ruthton area.
On July 2, 1938, Ruth was united in marriage to Casper “Cap” Larsen in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota. The couple made their home in Marshall (except for a short time in South Dakota) and raised four children. Ruth worked part-time at A&W, Swift’s, and the mink farm to earn extra money for Christmas. She was a loving homemaker and devoted mother. When the kids were grown, she worked at West Side Elementary School as a cook and dishwasher for many years.
Ruth’s enjoyments in life included camping, dancing, and wintering in Texas. Her joy came from spending time with the family she loved so much. She would open her home anytime to visitors for a good cup of coffee and a cookie.
Ruth died on Wednesday, November 11, 2015, at Avera Morningside Heights Care Center in Marshall. She had reached age of 95 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Blessed be her memory.
