Ruth will be remembered for her 31 year career as one of the first women representatives of the Blue Cross Plan of SW Ohio, originally Hospital Care Corp. She started with the group, as she proudly advised, which "put Blue Cross on the map" serving many prestigious firms. She retired in 1976. Most of her firms will fondly remember her as the hat lady, always wearing a hat. She was President of the Western Hills AARP Chapter #3690 for two terms and Vice President for one term, as well as their Legislation Chair. She was also a member of the Western Hills Eastern Star Chapter. She served as President of Altrusa and was active in her church for many years. She was a member of the Philanthropic Daughters of Penelope Calypso Chapter #13, attending many of their District Conventions. Her faith was her foundation. She always told everyone with problems to put them in God's Hands and trust in Him. Friends are invited to a Memorial Service Thursday 7 PM at the Dalbert, Woodruff & Isenogle Funeral Home. Memorials may be made to Shriners Burns Institute or the AHEPA Buckeye District 11 Scholarship Fund.
