Ruth Metcalf was born Sept. 17, 1931, in Idaho Falls, ID. to Lawrence and Zelma Storer. She attended schools in Idaho Falls and graduated from Idaho Falls High School.

She married Doyle Keith Metcalf in May of 1949. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls Temple.

To this union were born: Linda Ruth Metcalf of Ammon, Matthew Carl Metcalf of Idaho Falls, Allan Kay (Rhonda) Metcalf of Spanish Fork, UT, and Julie Marie (Ken) Wold of Idaho Falls.  Keith and Ruth were grandparents to Nick Wold, Katie Metcalf, Joe (Jordyn) Wold, Anna (Nate) Kalmar, and Sam Wold.

Ruth worked as a medical transcriptionist and secretary to the Health Department and for several local doctors.

She enjoyed reading, gardening, doing artwork and painting with her sisters, helping at the L.D.S. Church and doing Temple work, caring for pets, spending time on their property in Island Park, ID. and always loved family gatherings.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Keith; her parents; her sisters: Margie Orlene Dubach, Virginia Zelma Storer, Maxine June Walton, and Barbara Ann Rasmussen; and a brother, Lyle John Storer. She is survived by her children, grandchildren, and her sisters: Patricia Lu (Darrell) Smith and Carol Rae (Stan, deceased) Taylor.

Mom was a good-hearted soul, loved by many. We will miss her.
