Ruth lived life to the fullest achieving many successes; emigrating to the United States in September of 1968, getting her driver's license after she bought her first car, becoming a United States Citizen in 1972, buying her first home, and moving to Florida after she retired.

Ruth loved God and family and reading. She was an avid reader and encouraged her children and grandchildren to read, she was a stickler about education and encourage/demanded her children and grandchildren to focus on theirs. She worked for 26 years at Polaroid, in addition to her employment there she also work in the Health Care field at Goddard House in Brookline Ma. Ruth instilled in her family the value of hard work, determination, and the value of family above all else. She was friendly, welcomed all, flirtatious, encouraging, a listener and teacher. It was always her nature to try new things, she was generous to a fault and always contributed to many social causes, she was quick witted, at times she was the judge, jury and when needed the disciplinarian.
