Roths celebrate their Golden Anniversary

— Bob and Marilyn (Nichols) Roth recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a family cruise to Key West and the Bahamas.

For their Golden Anniversary, they enjoyed a Thanksgiving week cruise sailing from Jacksonville, Florida.  Celebrating with Bob and Marilyn were: their daughter, Robin Roth FitzGerald, and her husband, Michael FitzGerald, of Unionville, Virginia; their son, Toby Roth, and his wife, Michelle Roth, of Montgomery, Alabama; and their five grandchildren, Lillian Roth, Caleb FitzGerald, Madeline Roth, Annabel Roth and Erika FitzGerald.

Bob and Marilyn met in Denver, Colorado in 1960. Bob, a native of Goodland, Kansas, and Marilyn, a Muskogee County native, were married on October 7, 1961, in Muskogee. After graduating from Oklahoma State University, career opportunities took them to Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Alabama, before settling in Muskogee where their two children were raised and graduated from Muskogee High School.

During their 30 years in Muskogee, the Roths were involved in numerous community organizations and were active members of St. Paul United Methodist Church and later First United Methodist Church. Bob was a life underwriter with New York Life Insurance Company, retiring in 2005 with the career designations of New York Life 30-year Senior NYLIC, LIFE Member of NYLIC Production Clubs, and the industry designation of LIFE Member of the Million Dollar Roundtable. Marilyn served 11 years as a staff assistant for the Muskogee Women’s Clinic, in addition to her longtime pursuits of tennis, competitive bridge, and raising the couple’s children.

The Roths retired to Stillwater in 2005.  They are active members of the First United Methodist Church and devoted fans of the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Cowgirls.  They regularly travel to Virginia and Alabama to see their children and grandchildren, and also enjoy special occasions with the families of Marilyn’s five sisters and two brothers.
