Her family was converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and were baptized in the Merrimack River in Massachusetts on July 31, 1949.

In 1952, when Ruth was 14 years old, the family home burned to the ground so her parents made the decision to move the family to Utah where they could raise their children in an LDS environment.

Ruth completed her schooling in Brigham City, and graduated from Box Elder High School in May of 1956, and on August 31, 1956, she married Edward Jones Hall in the Salt Lake Temple.

Ruth worked at Wellsville Elementary for 17 years, retiring in 1989 so she would be available to tend her grandchildren. Her family was one of the most important things in her life. She was happiest when we were all together.

She served in the Young Women's program on both a ward and stake level. She served as a counselor in Relief Society Presidencies, as well as Relief Society President three separate times.
