She attended several national and state Republican Conventions. She ran for and was elected McLean County Recorder in 1992, and served as County Recorder for several terms, retiring in 2004.

Ruth was patient, kind and considerate to others.

Ruth's caregivers are especially appreciative of the kind staff at Bickford House and OSF Hospice for their assistance. Ruth was loved by all who knew her, and her smile and gentle ways will be dearly missed.
