Ruth, Countess of Carrick (1916-1990)

[Paul Theroff]

I post this because Burke's Peerage gives no dates for her:

Ruth, Countess of Carrick, died 16 July 1990, and is buried in North Carolina. The gravestone calls her simply "Ruth McEnery Carrick".

Thanks for this important correction to DPB print and online, where it says she died 1992.
