Ruth was born and raised in New Jersey and loved being a "Jersey Girl".

Known as a "fixer", Ruth provided support and assistance, to those in tough situations fighting to make sure their rights were protected.

Ruth was not only a "force to reckon with" at work, she was born a competitor. Throughout her life, Ruth concentrated on her physical and mental health by regularly going to the gym, eating well and keeping her mind sharp by reading all she could. She participated in various book clubs and was a fierce duplicate bridge card player. She would play single bridge but much preferred the competition of duplicate bridge.
