She was also an advocate for Domestic Violence & Rape Crisis Center.  Ruth enjoyed working with John Gaffaney at the greenhouses for several years. She also enjoyed sewing, pottery, ceramics, oil painting, wheat weaving and especially gardening.  Playing games or cards with her grandkids and friends was a fun past time for Ruth.
