She was baptized and confirmed at the Nazareth Lutheran Church in Centerville, SD. Ruth grew up on a farm near Vermillion, SD, attended grade school in Westerville, SD and graduated from Centerville High School. She attended Yankton College and taught Country School for 2 years.

Ruth then went to work as a cashier at New Market and Lunds. She attended Ridgewood Church and was very involved in Bible Studies as she loved to read God’s Word and was an avid prayer warrior. Ruth loved to cook and bake, crochet and knit and will always be known for her peanut butter balls, caramels, Special K bars and caramel rolls.
