Ruth loved to be outdoors, especially when she was camping, fishing and boating with her family and husband. She was an accomplished cook and baker. Her family will miss her fabulous meals and desserts. Especially her pie’s! Her pie crust was legendary. Spending time with her family was her ultimate joy, and seeing her great-grandson grow was incredibly wonderful.
