School of Nursing where she obtained her degree as a Registered Nurse. Being a RN was her life's calling.

30 years. While at CCH she received her Bachelor of Science from Emmanuel College in Nursing.
Ruth met her future husband Frederick in Dennisport and quickly married in 1968. Both loved the Cape
and everything it had to offer. Mom loved her pets and especially her Black Lab “Maddie.” An avid beach
goer, she embraced the sand between her toes lifestyle whether it was in Naples Florida, Drakes Island
Maine, or East Sandwich Beach. Ruthie and Fred also loved to travel for vacations with friends and
relatives. Rooting for the local Boston sports teams, reading, playing golf and being an awesome
Mom/Nana consumed her time outside of work.

Daughter-in-law Vanessa and her Grandson Thomas, whom she loved so much.
