She was born June 23, 1920, in Princeton, Wis., to Otto Semro and Ella Marrie Keller. She died May 19, 2012, at age 91.
She moved to Craig is the late 1920s with her mother. She graduated from Craig High School and Mesa College in Grand Junction.
Mrs. Clark moved to Delta and was co-owner of a liquor store.
She married Darius Clark in 1970 and they moved to Montrose. They owned and operated the Mode O' Day dress shop.

Mr. Clark died in 1987, and Ruth moved back to Olathe before moving into the Homestead in Montrose during the late 1990s.
Mrs. Clark enjoyed traveling with her husband, rides in the countryside, a meal at the Red Barn and a box of chocolates.
