Ruth, a 1967 graduate of Rock Hill High School, attended Ohio State University, earned a Radiology Technical license (CT/MRI) for Miami Baptist Hospital. Her real passion was personal training, holding ACE and AFAA certifications. She lived the belief that one’s body should be a temple for the Holy Spirit and gave same encouragement to her “gym rats” at Truly Fit.
