Ruth married George when he returned to California after serving in WWII, and devoted herself to her family and her faith.

She loved reading and discussing books, working in her yard, and sharing the bounty of her gardens. Ruth worked and volunteered in every community in which she and George lived. They built their cabin at Lake Tahoe, and enjoyed it for many years. Ruth welcomed every task, from reroofing their home to serving in their churches and making their daughters' wedding dresses.
