Obituary for Margaret Joann Hiles

Margaret Joann Hiles was one of the most brilliant woman I have ever had the honor of knowing. Born June 14, 1925 in Dunkirk, Indiana she was born into a world of struggle. My grandma lived through the Great Depression, lived and survived Tuberculosis, and traveled the world during uncertain times. She lived everyday of her long life living according to her rules and would accept nothing else. She was strong willed and always learning. Throughout her 91 years on this earth she accomplished many great things. She went to and graduated from Butler University with a bachelor’s degree in German while raising two children at home. She felt heartbreak, but always reinvented herself into someone stronger and better than she was before.

If she had been born in another time she would have been a great historian or a professor of a prestigious university. My grandma was constantly learning and reading, she could almost always be found sitting in her bedroom in Mackinaw staring out at the bridge or reading a book. Up until the very end she was reading. She was an incredible person, and she is survived by her two children and son-in-law, Chip Hiles, Hannah and Gary Apps, her two grandchildren, Margaret and Charlie McKinney, her great grandson, Aiden McKinney, and her Grand Kitties, Sabina and Sabella. We loved her to the moon and back and she will missed. But her memory will live on through all of our memories and the lessons that she taught.
