Ruth passed away to her heavenly home at 9:30am on Thursday, June 21, 2018.  Ruth was born in Winnebago, Nebraska on August 13, 1922. Her father worked for the Federal Government and they lived at Rainey Mountain Indian School near Cooperton. She attended grade school at Gotebo. They moved to Hobart and she graduated from high school in 1940 and was the Yearbook Queen. She attended Kiowa County Jr. College for two years and was a Civil service employee at Altus Air Force Base during World War II.

Ruth married Raymond "Red" Miller on April 7, 1943. Red was stationed at Biggs Field in El Paso, TX and she worked at Biggs Field for the Corp of Engineers. In the fall of 1948, they moved closer to home to Rocky, OK where Red was superintendent and coached the high school basketball team. Ruth worked with Red in the superintendent's office. They left Rocky in 1964 and moved to Lawton for Red to coach at Cameron Jr. College. From 1967 to 1970, they lived in Shawnee where Red coached the Oklahoma Baptist University men's basketball team. They returned to Lawton in the summer of 1970 for Red to again take the helm at Cameron University. After Red retired from coaching and teaching, they began their travel throughout the United States. Their favorite places to go were Red River, New Mexico and Southfork, Colorado.
