She worked at a women and children’s shelter in Topeka, was a manager at a Topsy’s Popcorn store and worked and retired from the Kansas Department of Revenue. Ruth was a member of the Cummings Christian Church. One of her most memorable attributes was her eternal devotion and love for the Lord. Ruth was a member of a bluegrass band called Homemaid Jam.

Ruth was blessed with a great sense of humor and lit up any room that she was in.
