She was a long-time member of St. Matthew Catholic Church, enjoyed gardening and digging in the dirt, oil painting, and over-wintering in Arizona. She especially cherished spending time with her family and beloved grandchildren, taking them bowling on the weekends, exploring nature, and never allowed a dull moment while in their company. She was a selfless and loving person, and will be missed by many. She was preceded in death by her parents; and daughter, Amy Phillips. Ruth's family would like to extend a special thank you for the care and compassion shown by the Cottage Grove staff.
