Ruth was a child of the Parish of St. Francis DeSales in Buffalo, N.Y.. Through her involvement in the Catholic Youth Organization; she met Jim of St. James Parish...while bowling. They went to a dance. They fell in love, and when he returned from War..they would marry. 
In 1949, with their first two children in tow, her brother and best friend Freddie and Jim she moved to Olcott N.Y.  They would run the Olcott Variety Shop... a drug store, a general store, a soda fountain, a restaurant. 
There were few sidewalks in Olcott. For a Buffalo girl who loved to roller skate, that was a concern. She told Jim she'd stay for two years. Seven more children would be born in Olcott into the Parish of St. Charles Borromeo (St. Brendan's on the Lake). She would live out her 92 years in the small town she grew to love deeply. In her home; looking at Lake Ontario; with a yard full of her favorite rose bushes she would be deeply and endlessly loved by her many friends and thankful family.
