Ruth was the youngest of nine children to Swedish immigrants in Olivia, Texas. As a child, she gathered eggs, milked cows, and was active and won awards in 4-H.
Ruth took her B.S. from the University of North Texas and earned an M.S. in nutrition from the University of Maryland. A home economist and Registered Dietitian, Ruth worked as a nutrition consultant for 20 years with the Dairy Council. She always encouraged education in her children: all three of her children have completed university degrees and have earned post-graduate degrees.
Married to Cloyd Taylor in 1945, Ruth learned flexibility as a "military wife" and mother of Mary, Cloydia and Cloyd, Jr. The family moved 12 times in 12 years. Her slogan became "We'll find it when we move." With her husband away on military assignments, Ruth enjoyed by ship to Japan with her daughters aged 2 and 4, and by ship to Germany with her three children aged 4, 8 and 10.
Ruth was involved in a variety of educational activities including teaching a Bible class for many years and teaching briefly in high school. For several years, she also was den mother for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. At various times, she served as a "home room mother" for classes which included her children.
A woman of diverse interests, Ruth had her own vegetable, fruit and flower garden. The garden provided flowers for the church for several years. She also grew raspberries which she and her family enjoyed. Ruth sewed "Taylor made" clothes, helped pregnant teens, and volunteered for Meals on Wheels, Potomac Park Overlook, Literacy Volunteers, and the thrift shop of Rainbow Christian Services. Recently, she served two years as President of the local chapter of the American Association of Retired Persons and was a member of the Senior Citizens Advisory Committee. In addition Ruth and Cloyd jointly operated a "Bed and Breakfast" in their home.
