Ruth’s favorite time of year was anytime family got together.

During the holiday season, Ruth’s favorite things were baking, crafting and family. Ruth would bake over 200 dozen cookies for family and friends.

Ruth also had a very creative side in crafting. Her cards and ornaments were meticulous.
