Active in business throughout her life, Ruth held a variety of positions with, among others, Foley Bros. Wholesale Grocery, Chandler Todd Company, Armour & Co., and the Montana-Wyoming Association of Credit Men. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Ruth and her mother owned and operated The Pie Shop in downtown Billings – making what many thought were the lightest pie crusts in creation.. In 1949 Ruth and her sisters purchased the Paris Beauty Supply Co. of Salt Lake City.

Ruth traveled extensively, loved to ballroom dance, often dressed in purple and, in her later years, was a diehard Denver Broncos fan. Tiny in stature, she had a warm smile that lit up a room and a gentle manner that captivated children.
Ruth was preceded in death by her sister, Beulah Walters, and her brothers, Wayne Braziel and Kenneth Braziel. She is survived by her sister, Zola Betz, and her niece, Evelyn McClearn, both of Denver; her sisters-in-law, Helen Braziel of Billings and Marvel Braziel of Santa Fe; nieces, Kathryn Braziel of Albuquerque, Dr. Rita Braziel of Portland, Ore., Janet Braziel of Corrales, N.Mex.; nephew, Richard Braziel of Albuquerque; and numerous grandnieces and nephews and great-grandnieces and nephews.
