Ruth was born September 13, 1932 in Lincoln township, Garfield County, Oklahoma. She was the fourth of eight children born to Clarence and Sena Postier. She left for her heavenly home on October 14, 2026. She was living at Brookdale Assisted Living in Enid, where she had lived for one year. She graduated from Hunter High School in 1950. On January 14, 1950, Ruth married Kenneth Schultz. They made their home on a farm outside of Hunter. She was a farmer’s wife from the very beginning of their marriage. Ruth brought many meals to the harvest field. Her specialty was fried chicken and cherry pie. If she wasn’t cooking or driving the wheat truck, she was home taking care of her four children. Later in life, she loved to sew, quilt and work in her beautiful yard.
After losing her husband, Kenneth in 1994, she married Bill Jackson in 2005. Ruth was a member of Pond Creek First Christian Church.
