Marguerite Noeth, 96 years old of Dover, IN, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 9, 2022. A native of Price Hill, Marguerite moved to Delhi in 1950 when she married the love of her life, Charles Noeth, and raised four children. Eventually she and Charles moved to Indiana when her children’s families took root there. She was an amazing cook and made dishes which the entire family looked forward to eating. German potato salad, chocolate chip cookies, and Thanksgiving stuffing were some of the highlights. Birthday cakes were always homemade as were most of their clothes. The grandkids also benefited from Marguerite’s sewing talents as she made their Easter dresses, coats, Halloween costumes, dolls, and stuffed animals. Never wanting to spend too much money on the expensive $6 Christmas trees, Marguerite opted for the $2 trees and said you would never know the difference once it was decorated. And, she was right, every year the tree was beautiful and wonderful memories were made. Still other memories were made during their camping vacations to state parks such as Hueston Woods and Stone Lick. Marguerite was an avid gardener and at 96 years old was still spending time in her gardens, weeding and trimming the beautiful blooms. She had a knack for keeping the most difficult plants alive, including a 10-year-old African Violet from her grandson’s wedding and the same poinsettias year after year. A granddaughter gave her a dying plant which she easily nursed back to health and is now a strong, beautiful reminder of her Gram.
Marguerite will be deeply missed by her children Barbara Wuestefeld of Dover, Janet (Jerry) Graf of New Alsace, Richard (Cindy) Noeth of West Chester, and Jim (Amie) Noeth of St. Leon; grandchildren Nicole (Patrick) Wuestefeld-Becknell, Krista (Mark) Kirchgassner, Michael (Katie) Wuestefeld, Zachary (Sarah) Noeth, Caroline (Tony) Steffen, Jennifer (Lance) Mullins, Justin (Chunny) Noeth, and Jessica Noeth; and 21 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Charles Noeth, parents Leona & Raymond Bickett, and son-in-law John Wuestefeld.
