Ruth was born July 19, 1923, in North St. Paul, Minnesota, the daughter of Walter and Amanda (Wellnitz) Kaiser. She moved to Wisconsin when she was young, and in 1954 she relocated to Berrien Springs, where she taught school at the Village Adventist Elementary School and Ruth Murdoch Elementary School. 

She is survived by her sister-in-law, Clara Kaiser, and niece, Sally Dahl, both of Merrill, Wisconsin; Dr. Alice Takomana-Luwemba of the international Malawan family; and many friends from her Sabbath School class and church family.
