Obituary From Adams Soderstrum Funeral Home, Story County, Iowa.

Margaret Louise (Hiatt) Routh was born January 31, 1915 to Sherman and Jessie (Harrison) Hiatt in Dallas County, Iowa. She married Bliss Routh on May 28, 1942 in Bethany, Mo. They lived in Des Moines until moving to Ames in 1953. Margaret was an active member of First United Methodist Church where she was a long time member of the Methodist Quilters, forming many friendships. Her family cherishes the many quilts she lovingly made and passed on to each.

Her family was Margaret's greatest joy and her strong faith upheld her throughout her long life.
