She enjoyed dancing and was a member of both the Fairways Line Dancers and the Fairways Hula Dancers. She loved to play golf at the Mays Landing Country Club. But most of all, she cherished her family and friends. Ruth was a lifetime member of the Stockton Presbyterian Church and a member of the Post 7921 VFW Auxiliary in Lambertville.
