(Her children were taught by many of the same teachers, including Miss Faye Schultz and Mr. Henry Mason and Miss Dora Jean Golder.)
An Anaheim resident since age 9, her family home was a citrus ranch on the property where Katella High School is now located. She also attended Broadway Elementary and Fremont Junior High.
A fun-loving young woman, Ruth participated in all her alma mater had to offer in her favorite areas of music and athletics. She played basketball, baseball, volleyball all four of her years at Anaheim High. She was also played hockey for three of those years. She served as the Varsity Basketball Team Manager her senior year, earning her Block A membership in the Girls’ Athletic Association because of her athletic abilities.
