Ruth Weng Smith constructed at least three puzzles in the Times. She was the sister of Times crossword editor Will Weng.

Ruth Adele Weng was born in Michigan in 1902, the daughter of Frederick Weng, a Latin professor, and Amelia (Cramer) Weng, a homemaker. She was the oldest of three children, with Will being the youngest.

She grew up in Terre Haute, Indiana, where her father taught at Indiana State University. She attended Indiana State, graduating in 1924 with degrees in English and Latin. In 1930, she married Wesley D. Smith. Both Ruth and Wesley taught in Indiana public schools, where Ruth was also a basketball coach. They had one child, Terry, a son.

Ruth passed away in 1999 at age 96.
