According the Tammy Johnson FT, Ruth died in Denver. However this does not match with obit or with MN Death index on Ancestry. The US SSDI (Social Security Death Index does record that the last residence on file is Denver - but oftenthis is not the actual residence, only the address on record. The MN death index on Ancestry records place of death as White Bear Lake, MN - about 20 kms to the north-east of St Paul. Her obit also records she was from White Bear Lake and notes that Fred and her moved there, but does not give a year.

Ruth's obit; Minneapolis Star Tribune, issue 14 Oct 2002, page B6
- preceded in death by her husband Fred, parents Esther Palm and Erick Gustaf Johnson; sisters Eva Wirkkula and Irene Kerentosky
- survived by daughters, [1] Barbara Ellis, [2] Jackie (Paul) Colaizy; son [3] Michael (Monica) and son [4] Bradley (Ruth); grandchildren .....
- also survived by brother Paul Johnson of International Falls, MN
- was a teacher in a one room school on the Nett Lake Indian Reservation;
- was a member of the St Stephen Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake after her and Fred moved there.

- the above obit is also posted on findagrave, id 95289290
