She was the daughter of the late Roy Lee and Eleanor Pearce Tingen and was also preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Wesley Routh, Sr.; sister, Thelma Glosson and brother, Robert Tingen.
Surviving are her daughters, Cathy Ward (Alvin), Sarah Jackson (Don), Susan Farr (Billy); sons, Thomas Wesley “Tommy” Routh, Jr. (Patti) and Jerry Routh; sister, Ruth Rudd and brother, Larry Tingen; 10 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
