In 1933 she came to Indianapolis and attended the Normal College. While here she met Heinrich (Henry) Siegman. They married on June 12, 1938. After briefly returning to Peoria for a job, they returned to Indianapolis and started a family. Over the years Ruth worked as a teacher in a number of settings including Indianapolis Public Schools and Mount Pleasant Christian Church. She also served as a volunteer at Englewood Christian Church and the nature center in Holland, Michigan. The most important and enjoyable job for her in life was her family: the joy of being a mother, grandmother and great grandmother, of being around, involved with, and caring for children.
