Services will be held at Heritage Assembly of God Church in Baxter on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 1pm. Visitation will begin at 12pm and a luncheon will immediately follow the service.
Margie M. Stultz, a beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, passed away, leaving a legacy as warm and comforting as the cinnamon rolls, she so lovingly baked. Known for her exceptional skills in the kitchen, Margies pies, buns, and mints were more than just food they were a language of love she used to nurture everyone around her.
Born into a bustling family of 13 on a hardworking farm, Margie learned what it meant to rise before the sun, roll up her sleeves, and contribute with heart and hands. The values instilled during those formative years resilience, humility, and a deep sense of service would go on to define her life.
Margie had what many called a servants heart. Whether it was a neighbor in need, a friend having a hard day, or one of her many siblings, she never hesitated to step in with a meal, a listening ear, or a helping hand. She simply could not sit still when there was work to be done or someone to care for. Over the years, she held many jobs, each one done with dedication and integrity not for accolades, but because she truly believed in the value of being useful.
Of all the roles Margie embraced, motherhood was among her greatest joys. She poured her love into raising her children, finding happiness in the chaos and comfort in the simple rituals of home. Her eyes lit up when she spoke of her family and they sparkled all the more when she told the story of meeting her husband, Art. It was love at first sight, a rare and lasting connection that carried them through lifes many seasons.
In retirement, Margie found peace and pleasure in the sunshine of Arizona, where she and Art spent many joyful months. Those days were filled with warm evenings, shared memories, and quiet contentment a well-earned rest after a life lived with purpose.
Margies life was not about grand gestures or worldly success. It was about the everyday kindness, the honest work, and the joy of giving without expectation. Her spirit endures in the recipes she passed down, the lessons she taught, and the hearts she so gently touched.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
She is survived by her husband, Art; children, Robin (Dennis Hansen) Stultz, Sheryl Rutz, Todd Stultz, and Michael (Mary) Stultz; 15 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; brother, Stanley (Dee) Hayes;
She was preceded in death by her parents, Theodore and Myrtle (Rosen) Hayes; and her siblings.
