Ruth had a long-time connection with the CGIT Association. She was the founding member of the Lucknow Sepoys Ranees and encouraged others to take leadership roles. She was an active member of St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Lucknow until it closed and she moved her affiliation of St, Paul’s - Trinity Anglican Church in Wingham where she was an active member and dedicated volunteer.
She learned to play baseball at the age of 5 and continued to play until she moved to Lucknow. Her love of baseball extended to the Toronto Blue Jays for whom she was a devoted fan.
