Ruth was a very special person who cared for so many. Ruth and Bill lived in Heyworth and in Bloomington. Ruth learnt to sew early on in clothing factory-always quite particular about her work. She has sewn everything from aprons to wedding dresses. For years, she and Bill ran an upholstery business from their home. Bill tore the furniture apart while Ruth did the upholstering. If there was the slightest flaw, she insisted on taking it apart to make it ‘right’!
