Ruth A. Woodworth, 92, of Hemet, CA, passed away on Tuesday, November 5, 2013, in Hemet, CA. Born February 4, 1921 in Stanton, NE; she was the daughter of Perry and Elsie Best. Ruth was the school teacher in a one room schoolhouse in Stanton, NE at an early age before moving to Omaha and working for Western Union. After marriage, Ruth later settled in Hemet, CA to raise her family. She was a loving Mother. In her many years in Hemet, she worked for the Hemet Hospital, Hemet School District, Howard Rose Company and later settled on a long career with the Department of Public Social Services. She retired from the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services as a Supervisor when in her 60’s. After retirement she volunteered at Hemet Valley Medical Center and Prime of Life. The common theme of Ruth’s life was to give to others. Ruth was recognized twice by “Who’s Who” for her accomplishments. In her spare time, she enjoyed spending time with her family, researching family genealogy, and treating herself to ice cream – all flavors! She was always happiest when she was surrounded by her family. Ruth is survived by her sons, Dennis and Jerald Woodworth; daughter, Nancy Kutsch; grandchildren, Christina, Tiffany, Vanessa, and Heather; and eight great-grandchildren. The family wishes to thank Buena Vista Assisted Living in Hemet and Inland Empire Home Health of Hemet for the wonderful care they provided Ruth in the last months of her life and request that Memorial Contributions be made in her name to Inland Empire Home Health of Hemet.
