Parents:William J and Daisy Marie Hurless Myers.
Ruth Naomi Myers, not only entered the Catholic Church against the wishes of her family, but with two of her friends, joined the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity, where they were known as Sister Ruth Ann Myers, Sister Dolora Deem, and Sister Claudine Smith.
Sister was professed 15th August,1951.
Sister Ruth Ann had a Masters in Psychology and a Masters in Religious Studies. She taught in both departments at Silver Lake College of the Holy Family but is perhaps most connected with the Psychology Department. For years she gave intensive journal workshops. Though the field of psychology certainly fit Sister Ruth Ann's inclination to understand individuals and groups, she didn't approach psychology as a psychologist or as a scientist. Sister Ruth Ann was more of a philosopher than a scientist. She mulled over the deeper questions of life and invited others to share in her questioning with a gentle but penetrating pause.
During her forty-five years at the College, she took many classes. Many had to do with spiritual direction. She also took Spanish because several of those who came to her for spiritual direction were Hispanic. I found one of the applications for continuing education in her file that I found rather interesting. In 1989, Sister Ruth Ann took a class in Oriental Cooking from Lakeshore Technical College. Her reasons for taking it were: 1. I don't want to die without learning something about cooking; 2. Wok cooking is very healthy; and 3. since I will not be cooking on a regular basis, I want to do something special when the occasion arises. Obviously, Sister Ruth Ann had many interests.
In her retirement years, Sister Ruth Ann continued to reflect and ask the serious questions of life. How do nations settle conflict without war? How is peace achieved on a world-wide scale? How do we build bridges? In her last edition of Franciscan Bridges that is dated this summer, Sister Ruth Ann wrote: "I am convinced if we really thought we could make a difference (bolding Sister Ruth Ann's) in transforming this world into a better place, we would do it. If we used our imagination to know what it would be like, living in a world where total Goodness prevailed, that is, if the Kingdom of God were here now . . . we would act quickly to bring about a change. Yes, we would with great joy be moved to act swiftly and with confidence to make God's Kingdom a reality."
