Ruth Ellen "Ruthie" was everyone's friend. She made life-long friendships at work, church, stores, and everywhere she frequented.

She used to love to sew all of her clothes back in the day, and did the same for her daughter. She was an amazing homemaker. Speaking of holidays, she would dress up in a new costume during the week for the entire month of October, and pass around candy to businesses, her family, and school kids, as they waited at the bus stop in her neighborhood. Holidays were magical at her home. She would decorate her beautiful home for almost every holiday.

Weekly, she would take goodies to a family member, or baked goods, or just put something on the door step, just to let us know, she was thinking about us. One day, she brought her rocking chair over to Heather's house and sat and rocked in it, on the sidewalk, and greeted the kids as they walked to the bus. She loved making people smile, and laugh.

Ruthie loved her job at Zions Securities and had amazing bosses and co-workers.

She was a very loving and supportive wife. She spent hours assisting my dad with his studies for his pilot's license and renewals. She would go to all of his concert performances. There was nothing she wouldn't do for him.

Ruthie was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and loved her Savior and Heavenly Father. She lived her life in the way she believed was correct.

Ruth Ellen is survived by her husband, Leslie McClure, daughter Heather (Troy), grandchildren Aaron (Sal), Alexa (Tyler), Tag (Catt), and Colin, great grandchildren Luca, Rue, Sy, and one on the way, sisters, Carol and Gerta (Orval), in-laws, Aleta (Hugh), David (Francie), and Cynthia, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death: parents, James and Erma Lowry, sisters, Helen, and Loretta, and son, Aaron McClure.
