COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.-Ruth Guymon Jaloszynski was born of goodly parents, William Lee Guymon and Una Geneva Seely Guymon, on March 23, 1922, at the family home in Orangeville, Utah.
After graduating from Castle Dale High School as class salutatorian, she left home to seek employment. Ruth worked in an aircraft factory and later trained as a stenographer. She also was employed in various clerical positions.
Ruth married Edwin L. Jaloszynski at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, on Dec. 28, 1946. Two children were born to them: John Edwin Jaloszynski and JoAnn (Raymond) Hendershot. They have six grandchildren: Richard (Jayna) Hendershot, Reed (Maria) Hendershot, Maren (Joshua) McCrary, Megan (Erik) Guderian, Manda (Trenton) Bytheway, and Marta Hendershot; and 12 great-grandchildren.
