Coeur d'Alene Press - The Daily Bee Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai County, Idaho <> Ruth Frey, 73 Ruth Mary McCarthy Frey, 73, passed from this earth on Oct. 18, 2004. She was loved by all who knew her. She was born on All Saint's Day, Nov. 1, 1930, in Haverhill, Mass., to Ruth E. McCarthy and Charles M. McCarthy. Ruth worked in an insurance company before her marriage to William R. Frey. They lived in Connecticut before moving to California in 1963. Together, they ran a business and enjoyed outdoor activities such as camping and off-roading. Ruth was very involved as a state treasurer for the California State Four-Wheel Association. She was proud of being involved with the development of the lunar rover. Ruth earned her college degree in 1978 and was very proud of her career in accounting. She moved to North Idaho in 1979 and continued her interest in the outdoors. Ruth was a pioneer in real estate in North Idaho development. She loved golfing, hiking, fishing, gardening and skiing. She is survived by her son William R. Frey III; and daughters Susan Woerz and Cynthia Fairfield; seven grandchildren; friend Ray Fantaselle; and sisters Janice and Joyce. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Roberta. Her infinite wisdom taught us that, while we may not obtain everything in life, there is nothing that is out of our grasp. She led by example, tasting life like few do. With her boundless energy and indomitable spirit, she was never held by the traditional boundaries of what she could or could not do. Though many have walked down this path in life, few have left as many marks along the way. Funeral service for Ruth were held October 21 at Yates Funeral Home, Coeur d' Alene Chapel. Burial will be private at Coeur d'Alene Memorial Gardens.
