She married DeWayne Geer in 1965, and they had two children together. Ruth Ann was a lifelong caregiver, working as a Registered Nurse for 48 years in Upstate New York and Orlando, Florida. She lived her life by setting an example of faith, love, honesty, loyalty and fun. Her infectious laugh could brighten the darkest day; and her caring and compassion for others guided her existence. She was not a fan of technology, however she mastered texting, and her daily messages of inspiration were appreciated by so many.
