How does one sum up 94 years in a few paragraphs? The answer: you can’t, but you do your best, pulling on the memories, anecdotes, and crazy tales of those who loved Ruth aka Granny the most. Anyone who was close to Ruth knew that she could put a smile on your face simply by entering the room. With an infectious laugh, brilliant smile, and sense of adventure nothing slowed Ruth down.

While she could often be found in her recliner at home, clad in a pink nightgown & slippers, working her crossword puzzle with a well of knowledge that could rival Google itself, she was just as comfortable on the back of her four-wheeler collecting wood for the fireplace, or driving a tractor during hay baling season.

Tales have been told of Ruth’s legendary ability to park a boat on a trailer without breaking a sweat at her family’s vacation home on Nolin Lake. Despite her obvious skill behind the wheel of a boat, Ruth was not a strong swimmer.

In 2005 at 78 years old, during a destination wedding to Central America, her family all held on tight to Ruth’s inner tube as they went cave river tubing in Guatemala, nothing ever stopped Ruth’s sense of adventure.

Ruth’s greatest passion was her family. She cherished every holiday, vacation, birthday, and reunion that she was able to be surrounded by those she loved.

At family events, she could be seen silently observing
