Ruth Mason Lizak
No full textAfter a long period of declining health Ruth M. Lizak passed peacefully into the arms of the Lord the night of Saturday, Oct. 31. She was 84. Ruth was born in Norristown, PA, attended Lansdowne High, Drexel U. and Temple U., then moved to Palo Alto, CA in the mid-1950s to work at the Stanford Research Institute. In 1956 she married her Palo Alto neighbor, Edward John Lizak, a native of Buffalo, NY. After the births of their two children the young couple returned East and for a short time ran a small bakery in Clementon, NJ, but soon returned to the Bay Area for good. Ruth was a resident of Palo Alto for over 50 years, a member of the Menlo Park Presbyterian Church for over 50 years, and an employee of SRI for nearly 30 years. Her Christian faith was very important to her. She was active in the MP Pres. Missions program and member of the Chancel Choir for many years. At SRI she rose to the Director level. NASA Technology Application was her specialty, leading to memberships in the American Public Works Association and the Technology Transfer Association, and a close relationship with the Golden Gate Transit District, on which NASA-formulated anti-corrosive paint was tested on their famous bridge. The welfare of Native Americans on reservations was a major concern of hers, and she sponsored a boy in Arizona for many years. Ruth is survived by her daughter, Pamela Lizak Littrell of Everett, WA, son Peter Edward Mason Lizak of San Jose, granddaughters Nicole Littrell Webster of Bothell, WA and Cambria Littrell Morgan of Snohomish, WA, grandson Joshua Paul Ramos Lizak, and great-granddaughters Reagan Webster and Kennedy Webster
