Her family im- migrated to the United States from Norway. She grew up in Iowa and Minnesota during the Depression and enjoyed the closeness she felt in those small, rural communities. Ruby was an ex- cellent student with a keen in- tellect and a superior memory for detail. As a young adult in the early 1940s, Ruby moved with her family to Oregon to fi nd employment. She lived in west Salem and worked in Schreiner’s fi elds, the Del Monte cannery, as a cashier and later assistant manager for Warner Brothers that owned the Elsinore and Capitol the- aters, and for the telephone company. Ruby met her husband Howard on a blind date to an Oregon State University ball. They were married in 1951, living briefl y in Medford and then moving to Grants Pass where Howard worked in the state and federal forests. Two daughters, Janet and Barb, were born there. As a homemaker, Ruby excelled at canning, cooking, sewing, and knitting. She even upholstered the living room furniture, at least twice. In 1965, the family moved to Astoria where Howard taught forestry at Clatsop Community College. There Ruby had the opportunity to begin to pursue her dream to graduate from college.

After re- tirement, Ruby traveled around the western Unit- ed States and R. Brock Canada with Howard in what she called the “tin tent” and enjoyed spending time with family.

She endured many health limita- tions but continued to offer kindness to all around her and was much loved by the resi- dents and staff.
