Ruth was born on July 22, 1927 in Midland, Texas to Sammie and Jamie Ruth Streich Miller. She grew up in Ballinger and worked at Bruce Field where her father was a civilian guard. She met her first husband, Frank Wroblewski, there, and they were married on November 5, 1943. Soon after, they moved to Detroit, Michigan where they raised five children.
She met her second husband, Kenneth Worden, while working in the parts department at a Chrysler dealership in Detroit, and they married in 1974. They moved to Tom Green County, north of Miles, Texas, in 1981 where she worked as a caregiver. After the death of Ken in 2004, she was a volunteer at Hospice of San Angelo. She enjoyed camping with the Good Sam Club, sewing, and quilt-making, many of which were given as gifts to her family. A rattlesnake bit Ruth in 2005 while painting her porch.
