Margaret Naomi Broyles, a Moscow resident and former co-owner of the Tip Top Drive In, died Saturday at Good Samaritan Village of causes related to age. She was 92.
The youngest of nine children, she was born July 19, 1906, to Alva and Arabell Kuder Whitehall at Waterville, Wash. She grew up and attended school in Waterville where she enjoyed basketball, ice skating, horseback riding and hiking. Her mother died during the Spanish influenza epidemic in 1920 and she and her siblings continued to live in Waterville and later Spokane.
She married Earl Broyles at Coeur d'Alene on Dec. 24, 1925. They attended school in Seattle, where she graduated from Roosevelt High School and then attended the University of Washington for two years. After a number of years in Spokane during the Depression, she followed her husband to Wallula, Wash., and worked baking pies for Johnson's Cafe. Following a brief stay in Moscow in 1941, the family settled there permanently in 1943. At Moscow she worked for a time for J.C. Penney and Scott's Flower Shop. Later she and her husband owned and operated the Tip Top Drive In at Moscow. Her husband died in 1979 and she moved to Good Samaritan Village in 1986.
The couple were members of the First Christian Church and she was active with the Rebekah Lodge and the 1H Club. Her collection of knickknacks included coins, spoons and salt and pepper shakers. In later years, she enjoyed crafts and knitted afghans for family members.
Her survivors include a daughter, Donna Jean Corlett of Vancouver, Wash.; a son, James E. Broyles of Pullman; five grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
A celebration of her life will be held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Good Samaritan Village in Moscow. A private graveside service will be at the Moscow Cemetery. Chaplain Gordon Braun of Good Samaritan Village will officiate.
The family suggests memorials to Good Samaritan Village.
Arrangements are under the direction of Short's Funeral Chapel in Moscow.
