Ruth was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She also served for many years with the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.
Ruth enjoyed quilting and handicrafts, sharing her time and energies with others. Her greatest accomplishment was her ability to provide compassionate service to anyone in need.
