Ruth was a beautiful, strong example to her friends and family. She had a great love for the beauty of God\s creations and enjoyed taking long nature walks with her family. She was a wonderful artist and enjoyed painting, ceramics, and creating pieces for her home. Ruth was a caretaker to all who knew and loved her. Ruth and her husband served as missionaries in the Escalante Branch for the LDS church. She enjoyed serving her sisters in the Relief Society Presidency and helping with the boys in scouting. We will greatly miss Mom\s wry sense of humor and wonderful friendship.
