Born in Whitefield, NH, she lived most of her life in Central Mass. until she moved to Conway in 2012 to be near her two daughters. The return to New Hampshire made her feel like she was home again.

She was also a collector of assorted bells and covered bridge art. Ruth loved animals and had several small dogs, but was especially fond of cats and had many throughout her life.
Ruth is survived by her daughters of Conway, NH, Cheryl Quimby and Brenda Court (husband David Goguen); sons Stephen Court (wife Jenna) of Lunenburg, MA and Barry Court (and the late Eddie Hackley) of Daytona Beach, FL as well as Scott Court from her marriage to Alan Court and another son, Michael Lane. She also leaves 9 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, 5 step children from her marriage to William Campbell and many nieces and nephews.
