Ruth had formerly worked at Airway Manufacturing and the Village Bar. Ruth would later marry Bill Foster on September 2, 1995, the happiest day of her life. Ruth enjoyed gardening, taking care of chickens and her two dogs, Ace and Princess, and her two cats, Mr. Tibbs and Smokie. She got the most enjoyment out of taking care of her husband Bill. Ruth was a very caring and good-hearted person.
