Buck’s Place benefactor was ‘a bundle of energy’

By SARA AGNEW of the Tribune’s staff
Published Saturday, July 7, 2007

Columbia’s first lady of ice cream has died.

Ruth Arbuckle, who along with her husband, Wendell Arbuckle, made Buck’s Ice Cream a local family favorite, died yesterday at the Calvert County Nursing Home in Maryland. She was 93.

Though Ruth Arbuckle was an author, educator, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she is best remembered in Columbia for her ice cream legacy.

After retiring in 1987 from careers in dairy science and the ice cream industry at the University of Missouri-Columbia, the Arbuckles wanted to give something that would carry on the ice cream tradition at MU.

They established an endowment to support ice cream research at MU, and in 1989, Buck’s Ice Cream Place opened on the south side of Eckles Hall, just east of the corner of College Avenue and Rollins Road on the MU campus.

Indulging in Tiger Stripe ice cream at Buck’s Place is a prerequisite for many an MU graduate.

Ruth Arbuckle was born March 31, 1914, in Columbia, where she attended Hickman High School. She graduated from MU and received a master’s degree in music from Northwestern University.

J. Gordon Arbuckle of Washington, D.C., and Boulder, Colo., said that although his mother lived in Maryland, she maintained a fondness for Columbia and often visited the family farm on Mexico Gravel Road. "She was a bundle of energy and reached out to everyone who she ever had an opportunity to deal with," he said.

Arbuckle recalled that his parents often brought home ice cream to share with him and his sister, Wendy Ellen Wood of Columbia, Md. Though his father was famous for creating such exotic ice cream flavors as pink grapefruit, carrot, sweet potato and rhubarb, his parents’ favorite ice cream remained a classic.

"They both liked vanilla," he said.

Ruth Arbuckle will be buried next to her husband in Columbia Cemetery.

Services are pending at Rauch Funeral Home in Port Republic, Md.

Ruth Weaver Arbuckle (on the right) was in from Maryland visiting family over the 4th of July and stopped by
for a visit July 3, 2003.  I called Ruth's classmates; Barthena Allen Barnes, Mildred Crawford Hourigan,
Elizabeth Douglas Windmiller, and Helen Moore Wiggins and invited them over to see Ruth and join us for lunch.
Barthena (on the left) was the only one who was able to join us.  Barthena, Mildred, Elizabeth and Helen are still
living in the Columbia area.  All of these ladies are Kewpies from "The Class of 1932."  Ruth returned to
Hickman in 1936, immediately after gettinng her degree from the University of Missouri as a music teacher.
Mrs. Helen D. Williams was her teacher in the early 30's and Ruth and Helen taught together through 1941.
Ruth and Helen jointly produced the plays and assemblies at Hickman during that time.

Class of ‘67

Hi to all! Hope all is well for you and your families.

Well, we had so much fun in October at the 40th class reunion that the “locals” have decided to try to get together on a semi-annual basis.  Of course, we will still have a formal 45th reunion in 2012 however, as we aren’t getting any younger, everyone thought it was a great idea.

So here’s the deal; Friday, May 9th, at 5:30-6:00 pm,  we plan to meet at Shiloh Bar & Grill (Old Katy Station downtown).  Nothing planned, nothing to pay for in advance; just a bunch of old Kewpie friends getting together, for the fun of it.

So, if you are in town for Mother’s Day, want to take a day off to see friends, or live in Columbia or surrounding areas; please come and join us.

Like Joe Mosley said in an email, “He always has time for good friends”.
