Ruth was the epitome of a bad-ass mom, and took no S*** from anyone! Always there for family no matter what, Ruth was a true best friend to her kids.

She was a voracious reader, often finishing 20 books a week. Ruth met several of her favorite authors, the highlight of which was Stephen King.

Always "My Girl".
