At some point following her husband's death, Ruth remarried an unnamed man who was later caught sleeping with Jimmy's second wife. ("Green Light")

In 1992, she called Chuck to help Jimmy after he was arrested for performing a Chicago sunroof ("Nacho").
Season 2
On her deathbed, with Chuck at her side, Ruth briefly awoke and called out for Jimmy. Chuck tried to tell her it was him but Ruth continued asking for Jimmy. Before Chuck could tell her it was him, Ruth then passed away; her last words calling for Jimmy.
When Jimmy later asked Chuck if Ruth had said anything before she died, Chuck out of jealousy and anger said no ("Klick").
