She was the third of the five \"Keene Girls\" who all grew up in Bremen, Maine. She graduated from Lincoln Academy in Newcastle, Maine in 1958. Ruth worked briefly at Round Top Ice Cream in Damariscotta and then was employed at G.T.E. Sylvania for approximately 11 years. She later worked as a family service coordinator for the Waldoboro Head Start program and thoroughly enjoyed working with children. She retired from Pen Bay Medical Center as a Mental Health Worker in the PARC unit in 2004. Ruth fully enjoyed her retirement and pursued her love of her grandchildren, family, arts and crafts, home decorating, gardening, reading, writing and counted cross stitch with a passion. She was a talented artist/craftsperson and a remarkable writer who generously shared this gift with close family and friends.
