Ruthie graduated from Clinton High School in 1961,

Bachelor’s Three, Holiday Inn, and Lincoln Elks #914

was instrumental in the establishment and success of
the 19th Hole, which was the pride and joy of her
employment; she put her energy into decorating and
redecorating the inside and providing hospitality
for many years. All of her working life she served
her customers with pride and professionalism.
Through her work, she touched many lives; she will
be missed by all. |
Ruthie’s passions were taking care of her
family and pets, whom she loved dearly, and photography,
which she shared with her 19th Hole family through the many
pictures she posted on the board in the bar.
