Mrs. Routsong was born Dec. 7, 1922, to Waldo and Pearl (DeLong) Wolfe in Steuben County, Indiana. She married Lloyd Routsong on April 23, 1940, at Pleasant Lake, Indiana.
Martha worked for 26 years at the Central Drug Store in Kendallville. She then moved, with her husband, to Las Vegas, Nevada from 1979 to 1997, then returning to Kendallville to live.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Lloyd in 2005, a great-granddaughter and two brothers, Lewis Wolfe and Walter Wolfe.
A private funeral service will be held at Hite Funeral Home in Kendallville with Dr. Michael Routsong officiating. Burial will take place at a later date at Lake View Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to Hite Funeral Home.
