The couple established their first home in Rembrandt, Iowa and later moved to a farm near Linn Grove, where they spent the majority of their married life. After Del's death on Oct. 6, 1967, Ruth moved into Storm Lake, Iowa, where she lived until 1998 when she moved near her family in Iowa City. She lived at Ecumenical Towers and had many friends there. During October 2005, she became unable to live by herself and was cared for by her daughter and son-in-law at their home until her death.
