Born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, Ruth was one of five children to Samuel and Evelyn Jacobson Margaretten. After college in Florida she married Lewis Levick and moved to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, where they raised their children Stephen Levick, now a psychiatrist and author in Philadelphia, and Ellen Levick Martahus, artist and owner of the Allure boutique in Bloomfield.

Ruth was a renowned interior decorator, artist and writer of poetry and short stories. She also loved cooking, travel and fashion, but most of all, she loved being with her grandchildren Michael and Mandy Martahus and Noah Levick.

Known for her generosity and kindness, Ruth will be forever remembered as a loving mother and grandmother. Her legacy lives on with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren Maddy, Evie, Leah and Matthew, all of whom now mirror her creative talents.
