Ruth Eleanor Moore, only child of Eldon and Bertha (Sphanle) Larimore, was born January 26, 1921 in rural Nemaha County, Nebraska. She attended Larkin School near her home through the 8th grade and high school in Nemaha and elsewhere.

They made their first home near Johnson, Nebraska, then Beatrice, and would later live near Nemaha, in Auburn and Papillion in Nebraska.
