Ruthie Tompson (1910-2021) - Find A Grave Memorial

Answer 1

I have created a profile for Ruthie Tompson and will begin fleshing it out over the next few days. If anyone wants to get a jump start on me, please feel free.

I have also added Ruthie to The Classic Disney Project. Although the project's primary focus is on voice actors, we have added sections for a handful of the Studio's better known animators, some live action performers, and others. 

For those that are interested in Disney history, you might enjoy reading this very interesting blog: The Fascinating Story of the Women Who Created the Great Disney Classics.

I've added her parents, as far as I'm comfortable with.

Answer 2

Ruthie has now been connected to the Big Tree (should show up after tonight's system update). She seems to have come from a rather prominent family - lawyers, doctors, deacons, etc. - with a lot of data available online. I only created bare-bones profiles for her ancestors (although I've included a few sources for each.) Someone else may want to follow up behind me and flesh these bios out.
