In each role, she advocated for inclusion and diversity. Her scholarship addressed mental health issues of women of color, and she was very frequently invited to consult and provide diversity training to varied groups. Ruth had a lifelong interest in exercise and athletics. Midcareer, she earned a second master's degree in sports psychology at Temple University (1996). Ruth was a leader and advocate for diversity in multiple professional associations and won many awards for her contributions. Ruth was a serious and creative scholar and teacher, generous mentor, insightful clinician, and gracious leader. She was a consummate professional but should also be remembered as a spirited, fun-loving, adventurous woman with an infectious sense of humor. Hers is a light that will be sorely missed.
