Ruth Irene was born July 26, 1943 in Missoula, Montana, the daughter of Edwin and Hilda (Reinke) Bieber.  Growing up, she attended school in Mott, graduating with the class of 1961. Ruth attended college for a year before she married Larry Stang on October 6, 1963 in Mott. Their marriage was blessed with daughters, Jamie and Shannay, and son Jonathan.  Together they raised their family on the family farm. Ruth and Larry moved to Dickinson in 2000 still continuing to farm. They retired from the farm life they loved in 2017.

Ruth was active in her community, serving as a Board Member of New England Public School, Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Council member and Sunday school teacher. She was also an advocate for Domestic Violence & Rape Crisis Center.  Ruth enjoyed working with John Gaffaney at the greenhouses for several years. She also enjoyed sewing, pottery, ceramics, oil painting, wheat weaving and especially gardening.  Playing games or cards with her grandkids and friends was a fun past time for Ruth. She will be missed and forever loved.
