They moved to Danbury, WI in 1962 when they owned and operated the Lazy Bar, now Wild Waters. With her years of bartending brought experience, made her spicey and tough which brought lots of stories. She enjoyed visiting with her customers and making them laugh. She was a bartender in the area until she retired.
Lee and Ruth enjoyed traveling in their Pace Arrow RV for 6 years, traveling all over the United States. This is what made Ruth happy. They then built a home in Mission, TX but eventually made their way back to Danbury to be closer to family.
