Ruth Margaret “Marge” (Dible) Haughawout was born November 27, 1923 in Topeka, Kansas to Ray Hershel and Almeda Ora (Long) Dible. Marge grew up in Rexford, Kansas, and attended school there, graduating from Rexford High School in 1941. She went on to attend college at Marymount College in Topeka, Kansas. As a young girl, Marge was active in 4-H, and enjoyed spending time with her friends. Marge married Thurman Isaac Haughawout on February 9, 1944 at First Methodist Church in Fostoria, Ohio, and to this union, four sons were born; Michael, Pete, Robert, and David. The family made their home in Ohio and Colorado, before settling in Kansas. Marge worked for many years as a warranty claims clerk for different auto dealers. She stayed busy sewing, was an avid reader, and could often be found baking or cooking, making sure to always have fresh cookies baked for the grandkids. She was a hard-working, loving, frugal, fun, and adventurous woman. Marge enjoyed ‘40’s and ‘50’s music, all types of flowers, a good cup of coffee, and dinner out either for Chinese or Mexican. She was a fan of “Gone With the Wind” and the music of “The Sound of Music”. She cherished her honeymoon with Ike to Niagara Falls and the birth of her four sons, and she loved always getting together with her family. Marge will be remembered for her good example of hard work, and how she took care of her family.
