Ruth was born January 4, 1933 in Salt Lake City to Cecil Reed Sorenson and Martha Walters Douglas Sorenson.

She thrilled to travel many countries around the world in recent years, including Greece, Turkey, Israel, Alaska, Mexico and the Caribbean. Many gospel and historical topics of learning captivated Ruth's interest. She liked to follow the events of the day and discuss how they fit in God's great plan. She showed her knowledge and faith by her many works, serving diligently in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Primary, Sunday School, Young Women's organization and in several ward choirs. She served the past 10 years as a temple ordinance worker in the Jordan River Temple and more recently as a part-time service missionary and hostess at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and Temple Square, where she greeted people from around the world.
