They cleared the land of sagebrush and began their farming career in Washington. Ruth was an active leader of the Wranglers 4-H Horse Club in the early 1960s. She shared many fond memories of the young people. She helped and maintained friendships with them. She again shared her knowledge and time by volunteering at Garden Heights Elementary School. In addition, she enjoyed traveling to numerous rodeos and horse events to watch her children and grandchildren compete. She was an accomplished seamstress, creating garments and decorating her home. She was always up for the challenge of a big day of shopping with her daughters and granddaughters! She was an avid collector of fabric and shoes. She worked beside her husband driving truck, tractor and cat. Ruth was a true farm girl. She is survived by two daughters and their families; Kay and Dee Whitaker, Sandy Whitaker, Sharon Whitaker and six great-grandchildren; Claretta Walker, Keeva and Dusty Kimble and one great-grandson; sister Esther Guy, Akron, Colo.; sisters-in-law Opal Gage and Esther Manly; family friends Mike Holm and Norma Crouthers.
