Ruth was born to Jacob Weber and Katherine (Rodie) Weber on May 17, 1918 in Reedley, California. Her early years were spent living on a ranch run by her widowed mother and her siblings. She graduated from Reedley High School, went to a secretarial school and entered the business world spending the majority of her working years at West Coast Growers and Packers, the home of "Cinderella Raisins." She lived with her mother and sister, Ida throughout her life. Known by the family as "The Girls", she and Ida cared for their mother until she passed away and continued the family unit participating in family celebrations and hosting dinners at their home. A piece of her Lemon Pie was a welcome treat at family gatherings. She was predeceased by her parents; her sisters, Lydia (Doris) Haynes and Edna Hullender; her brothers, Jack, August, Walter, Alex, and her twin,Reinhold Boas; her brothers-in-law Bill Haynes and Woodrow Hullender; and sister-in-law, Ann Weber.
