Ruth Lydia (Kloth) Abbott, 63, died November 3, 2015 in Lakewood Memorial Hospital with her son by her side.  She was born November 22, 1951 in Inglewood, California.  She moved with family to Tomah, Wisconsin in 1968, at age 17, and returned to California 18 years later where she remained for the rest of her life. During her working career she was a restaurant manager, restaurant owner, Administrative Assistant at Northrop Grumman and an Administrative Assistant at Farmers Insurance.
