Ruth was a loving, caring, and compassionate mother and grandmother. She loved to travel and cherished all her furry friends. Ruth enjoyed gardening, bird watching, and all things British, especially their TV shows. She worked for many years as a registered nurse in Florida. Ruth moved to the Columbus area over 20 years ago to be with her family. She was Christian by faith and attended First Baptist Church of Columbus with her daughter, Deborah and family.

She leaves her loving memory to be cherish by her sister, Joan Herzog; her children: Barbara Bush, Elizabeth Mays, Deborah Mullins, and Robert Actis; her thirteen grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. Her parents, Florence Brown Franz and Jesse David Franz and her husband, Donald Francis Actis, precede her in death.
