Ruth built a career at TVEC, and looked forward to retirement after many years of service. She was a great member of the TVEC team. She loved the company and her work family Ruth looked forward to the summer season every year when she could spend time in her backyard tending to her chickens and taking care of her many plants and flowers. She enjoyed keeping her pool in order so her family could enjoy it alongside her. She loved her night swims, listening to music, and watching the night sky. Ruth taught both of her granddaughters to swim, and took great pride in it. Ruth loved the outdoors. She and her husband Randy took many fishing trips, watching and attending NASCAR races, and hunting trips to West Texas.

She attended many times each year, enjoying it with her husband, her children, and her grandchildren. Ruth was devoted to her family, the Dallas Cowboys, and her beloved cats.
