Margaret was my microbiology teacher at Methodist Hospital in 1983-84.  I loved her!  She would zip around in her sneakers and always had a smile!  I worked for micro for awhile after I graduated from the Medical Technology School, and Margaret would often come to get samples.  She and I would chat, and she often inquired about my social life.  I told her I had started dating Tom Broderick, and she asked if he was the son of Joan and Dick, and I said yes.  She warned me that he was a bit wild and to watch out.  I ended up marrying him and have been in the Broderick family for 34 years!  We were amazed that she knew the Brodericks and had been on several family vacations with them.  Joan was sad to hear of Blythe's passing, as we all were.  She always called her Blythe, and I always called her Margaret!  She was a dear soul, and she is with God now.  

Blythe lived a life filled with travel and adventure. She was always up for whatever was next. We enjoyed many escapades like this marathon.

I became acquainted with Blythe through membership in the Woman's Dept. Club.  I came to admire Blythe for her sense of humor, intellect and not a little bit of daring.  She gave the Club a presentation a few years back, about her travels, recited facts and figures with no notes at all.   Blythe always had a ready smile, something I will remember about her and try to do the same.

When I was starting out in the Microbiology department as a lab assistant, Margaret would spend time twice a week giving me and two of my coworkers Microbiology lessons so we could give better information to the doctors and nurses when they called about their patients.  I found out shortly afterward that Jack was her husband.  I used to caddy for Jack at Hillcrest when I was in high school.  She will be greatly missed when we Methodist Micro ladies resume our get-togethers.  Thank you for having an additional celebration in March.  

I worked with Margaret Blythe for many years at Methodist Hospital. When I was a beginning microbiologist, she was always helpful, kind, and funny. I learned so much from her and greatly admired her enthusiasm, curiosity and love of learning new things.  She always had interesting projects and exotic travels to talk about. A wise and beautiful spirit!           

Dear Jack and family,  I feel so privileged to have known Blythe for the last few years.  I got to know her slowly!  She was one of the more quiet ladies.  Always listening and taking in the chaotic chatter.  And yet always bringing interesting articles or topics to the table.  She was humble, and yet, so sweet and strong and caring about children and books, science and the environment, gardening and nature!   And then to find out she loved golf and smiled when she told me about her  Hillcrest Golf  friends.  She was so tickled how the younger golfers treated her so sweetly.  And through her bout with  Some serious health issues, she just kept on going!  So amazingly steady and strong.  Only worried about others and the ups and downs of our world!  She was loved and respected by us. 
My sincere condolences!  
Thank you for sharing her with us!  Carol Stumpf

Blythe was a special lady. Always gracious & friendly to every woman golfer at Hillcrest.   She will be sorely missed. Sending prayers to her family. 

I got to know Jack and Blythe through Hillcrest.   You always seemed to feel good after spending time with her!

Best to Jack and the family.  Our prayers are with you.    John and Julie Wood.

Jack and Family. My deepest sympathy  I am remembering you all in my prayers  . Loved playing golf and having lunch with her. She was so special. Love Janie Hackman

Women's Golf at Hillcrest will never be the same without Blythe. She always had a smile on her face. My fondest memory of her is always at the driving or putting range. Always practicing!   And of course, she gladly took my skull at the Christmas party!  To her family, I am so very sorry for your loss.  She will never be forgotten and next Spring there will be a huge loss at Opening Day and the entire season. God Bless your family!

I remember her as having a big personality, funny and kind.  My prayers and thoughts are with your family at this time.  

We are so sad to hear of Blythe’s passing. She will be sorely missed by the Hillcrest membership where she made many, many life long friends. Our condolences to Jack, Brad, and Lisa. 

Jack and children,
Please accept my condolences. Blythe was a wonderful, kind, talented and loving lady. She and all of you are in my prayers.
