Ruthanne was born June 9, 1946 in Youngstown, a daughter of John and Ruth Macara Bonace. She was raised in what was then known as Lowellville, PA., now known as Edinburg.

A 1964 graduate of Mohawk Junior Senior High School, Ruthanne attended YSU pursuing a degree in Ancient History. After three years at YSU Ruthanne decided to make a career change and study nursing.
