She worked for many years as a secretary, the last years as a Texas State Employee in Vernon, Texas before retirement. Ruth was kind-hearted, hard-working, independent, always active, creative and loved her family and friends. She was an excellent cook, talented artist painting pictures and crocheting blankets for her family. She loved flowers and gardening throughout her life. She was active well into her late 90's cooking and often doing her own yard work. She was born in Dye Mound, Texas, married Eli Baker, February 8, 1942, and lived there until she went with Eli as he went to college on the G.I. Bill after WWII. After their professional lives, in 1989 they ultimately returned and retired to Saint Jo, where they considered "home". Ruth was a light in this world and was truly loved. She will be deeply missed.
Services held Monday October 11, 2021 in the chapel at Scott Funeral Home in Saint Jo, Texas. Graveside following at Dye Mound Cemetery. Officiating minister, Steve Chism.
