Ruth enjoyed attending Sunday School and the Youth Fellowship dinner meetings at the First Presbyterian Church in Atkinson. She graduated from Atkinson High School with her class of 1961.
Ruth moved to Lincoln in 1961 and transferred her membership to First Presbyterian Church of Lincoln. She studied bookkeeping at the Lincoln School of Commerce and graduated in 1963. She found a bookkeeping job with Korsmeyer Electric Supply Co. and she met Ralph Beach who was working there as a salesman. This company became Husker Electric Supply Co. in 1976 and is still owned and operated by the Beach family.
As Ruth became an adult, she was energetic and always in a hurry to get things done. She also expected family members to get things done quickly. Ruth & Ralph were married in the church in 1967. They made their home for many years on Santa Monica Ave. in Lincoln. Their son Randy was born in 1971 and Ryan was born in 1982. Ruth was active for many years at First Presbyterian Church where she served as Deacon and Elder, Past Matron of Starcraft Chapter #307, O.E.S, Naphis Temple #66, Daughters of the Nile, and St. David’s Welsh Society.
Ruth will be remembered as a loving and caring soul; she was always the first one to volunteer to go see someone in need or sit with. She was always willing to give a hand and most of the time you find her down at First Presbyterian helping in whatever she could do.
Left to cherish her memories are Randy (Sara) Beach and their children Jackson, Tyson & Ava. Her son Ryan (Sarah) Beach and their son Jordon. Ruth’s brother Gary (Glenda) Evans and their son Roy (Tina) Evans, and many friends in Lincoln. Preceded in death by her parents and husband, Ralph L Beach, Jr.
