Ruth married William Lynch and started a family in 1980 in Monroe, MI. Although their relationship ended, later in life they became good friends.
Mom moved to the Fulton County area when she was around 30, she decided to make Fayette her home, roughly 28 years ago.
She worked as a waitress in a couple different restaurants, but most would know her from her time working at Mel’s Place (Melody’s). Mom really loved working at Mel’s. She worked there for about 20 years or so.
In her free time mom loved to spend time with family and friends. She liked going to festivals and seeing live bands.
She always went all out decorating for the holidays, the kids loved seeing all the fun and interesting things she would put out.
Mom was definitely a busybody, always had to be on the move, whether she was shopping, thrifting, or yard sale hopping.
It was hard to keep her in one place. But when she had to stay home, she enjoyed putting together puzzles, diamond painting, and playing games on her phone.
