Notes:  Ruth was born in March 1917 while her parents were living at 824 Pine Street in Napa, California.  The photo at the left below shows baby Ruth with her older sister Leola during the Winter of 1917-1918.
The second photo shows baby Ruth at age 1½ with her older sisters, Bee and Leola, and her mother Nora during a trip to the old Samuels home at Blue Mountain in Napa County in September 1918. The photo at the right shows Ruth at age 10 with her father Wilfred in an automobile, with sisters Bee and Leola on the running board with Felix the cat.  This photo was taken in 1926 at the Hancock's next home at 2425 Second Street in Napa. The photo at the left shows Ruth at age 15 with her sisters Leola and Bee "playin' around" at home in Napa in 1931. Ruth attended Shearer Elementary School, Intermediate School, and Napa High School, graduated in 1935 at age 18 (see the photo at the bottom below). The two photos at the right show Ruth at 2425 Second Street in Napa, taken in 1942 or earlier.  The first photo shows her with her brother Bud.  The second photo shows her with a cat. Ruth worked at the Napa Shirt Factory and as a sales clerk for the J. C. Penney Company in their Napa, North Hollywood, and Fairfield stores.  She retired from Penney's after 32 years with them. After retiring, Ruth assisted her husband Angelo with their fruit and vegetable business from their home in Suisun City.  They delivered produce to restaurants and grocery stores in Fairfield, Napa, and Vallejo.  She loved to can fruit, work in her garden, and was well known for the cookies she baked. After the death of her husband Angelo in September 1998, Ruth briefly lived with her daughter and son in law.  Ruth moved into Piner's Guest Home shortly after Christmas 1998.  She was happy there and had a couple of new lady friends. The photo at the left shows Ruth on her 85th birthday on 11 Mar 2002.  She passed away less than eight months later.
