She enjoyed quilting, knitting, gardening, cooking, and spending time with her family. Ruth was a member of Kiantone Congregational Church.

She is survived by her beloved grandsons: Andrew (Daniele) Ellis of Frewsburg, Scott (Maggie) Roberts of Jamestown; a great grandson Stetson Ellis, her sister-in-law Kay Filegar and several nieces and nephews.
