Ruth was the administrative assistant to the Civil Service Commission in Redford for 34 years, retiring at the age of 74. She moved to Northville Twp following her retirement. Ruth was a gracious, beautiful woman whose heart was rich with love. She was funny beyond measure, even in her sickest hours. She was a devout Christian and her love and faith were boundless. Ruth's love and devotion to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were apparent to everyone; she was immensely proud of all of them.
