In the early s, following college graduation, she moved to Aspen and became a physical education teacher. Ruth lived in Aspen until when she moved to Denver for long-term health care.

Once settled in Aspen, Ruth began to volunteer for many organizations and became active in philanthropic endeavors important to the then emerging ski town, the Aspen Historical Society being her most dedicated mission while living there.

She loved to ski the Aspen mountains and often entertained her friends and family members during the winter months. Ruth enjoyed traveling the world and visited many countries during her adult years. She also enjoyed hiking, cooking, collecting travel pictures, visiting her family and caring for her poodles. A memorial ceremony is being planned for later this summer in Aspen at the Ruth Whyte Park.
