Affectionately known as "Gia" to her grandchildren, she was a shining light in their lives, creating cherished memories through her love and care.

In her leisure time, Ruth found joy in bus trips and visiting casinos, relishing the thrill of adventure. She shared countless memorable rides on her husband's Harley Davidson, experiencing the beauty of the open road together.
