She was born on June 17, 1929 in Sedro-Woolley, the daughter of John and Leila (Ammons) Cleveland.
She was married to Lee Moody and together they had five daughters. Later in life, she married Andy Ensley, who preceded her in death.

She is survived by her daughters, Loretta Moody, Sharon Davies, Nancy Bacus, Susan Wilson (Jim Wilson), and Debbie Moody (Herb Long). She left 9 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Her granddaughter, Deny McCracken was like a daughter to Ruth and provided countless hours of enjoyment to her throughout her life. Ruth’s daughter’s all thank Deny for the assistance she gave Ruth in the past few years as her health begin to deteriorate.
At Ruth’s request, there will be no services. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Lemley Chapel, Sedro-Woolley.
I am writing this for my family. We spent a lot of time visiting with Ruth and Andy Ensley. Andy and Dad talked about hunting and fishing while Mom spent time with Ruth. We moved back to North Carolina in 1958, but we still treasure our Washington friends.
We pray for this family to find comfort in all the good memories.

Dear Girls and family,
So sorry to hear about your Mom. It seems like since we moved from Port Angeles and her from Sequim we usually only saw her at funerals or family reunions, but have never forgotten her. Ruth was always so friendly and cared about her family. Cherish the memories because no one can take those from you.
Love, Jim & Geraldine
I was very sorry to read of your mother’s passing. I am glad to have gotten over to visit her recently. I had been a while since I had seen her and it was a good visit. If there is anything I can do for any of you please let me know. love Annie & Family
