Ruth Ann Olinger Aldridge is originally from Louisa County Virginia, but she has called home just over the bridge of Scottsville/Buckinghm Virginia, for over 25 years.

Ruth has worked full time at the University of Virginia in various administrative roles both in the medical and academic settings. Attending both Piedmont Virginia Community College and the University of Virginia for her college coursework. Prior to this she worked locally for several florists as a floral designer.

She loves anything that will take her to live music and to the outside landscapes of this beautiful world. However, she more than often seeks waterways to nourish her exploration of nature and art.

If there was a tagline for her life it would be “health is our greatest treasure and nature, art, music, and water are key elements to this destination”.

Ruth is extremely honored to be a part of SCAN board and the community it serves for the areas that encompass the “Horseshoe Bend” watershed to the Chesapeake and beyond.
