Ruth Joan (Platten) Huguet, age 85, of Green Bay, died Friday, November 20, 2020. She was born in Green Bay on February 1, 1935 to Michael "Tony" and Loretta Platten.
Ruth grew up on Hwy 54 (now West Mason Street) before it was developed and had fond memories of her parents' log cabin general store, the Trading Post, and tending to the family goats. She met her future husband, David J. Huguet, when he knocked on the front door and said, "Hi-I'm your Fuller Brush man." A week later, he called and asked her out on a date. They married in May, 1957 and built a life together. Ruth and David enjoyed singing in their church choirs, the Festival Singers, and later with the WPS Chorus. She was involved with the Interfaith Seamen's Ministry and also was a referee for the Green Bay Kickers Soccer Club. Ruth also liked to decorate cakes for family and friends, no matter what the occasion was.
