She loved her time in the military and shared songs and stories of those days with her nieces, nephews and children. After leaving the military, Ruth met and married Herman Berkowitz. They moved to West Orange, New Jersey, where they bought a printing company, Sterling Press, and continued to operate it until Herman's retirement in 1978. They then moved to San Diego to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Ruth and Herman made many new and wonderful friends there and as in the past, their house became a gathering spot. They both enjoyed conversations, debates, stories, and telling jokes. In 2000, they moved to Phoenix and continued their many social activities. Ruth loved playing cards with her husband, reading books, talking politics, being with family, and "arguing" with her step-son Mort. The family would like to extend a special thanks to all of Ruth's caregivers at Hospice of the Valley-Gardiner Home, Grand Court, Connie's Care and Jackie Romiglio. A very special thank you to Mort and Geegee Berkowitz for their continued love and support.
