She loved working on a variety of projects, holiday wreathes, Christmas angels, decorative eggs and floral arrangements. She was a volunteer at the local hospital and
helped manage the gift shop as well as visiting with patients. She was fortunate to have traveled to many places like Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Greece, Japan, England and Scotland.
Ruth and Bill moved to Maine in 2004 and lived in the Highland Estates for many years. They enjoyed winters in Florida on Long Boat Key and summers at their camp on Sebec Lake in DoverFoxcroft. Camp was always full of children, grand children and friends as well as the many projects that are a part of owning a camp in Maine.

Brethen of Dayton, Ohio, her son, Rick and his wife, Sandy, of Freeport, four grandchildren, Cheryl Rickert of Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, Janice Smith of Hillsborough, North Carolina, Cory Warren of Freeport, Maine and Kyle Warren of South Portland, Maine.
