She was born on July 7, 1957 to Robert and Pearl (Geer) Stanton in Toledo. Ruthe graduated in 1975 from Whitmer High School. She attended Christ for the Nations Institute and studied Theology. Ruthe was a talented artist and loved painting in her younger years. She also enjoyed playing the piano, singing, and dancing to old records. Ruthe had a great sense of humor and could make anyone laugh. Her smile, spirit and caring nature will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Left to cherish Ruthe's memory are her loving siblings, Jerry (Sandy) Stanton, Jim (Pam) Stanton, Rod (Shirley) Stanton and Susie Whitcomb; numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and many dear friends.
