My sincerest condolences to Gretchen and Millicent and the entire family. I will forever cherish my memories of Sis Routt during my tenure as a member of the Mt Zion Missionary Baptist Church usher board. No matter how many times I may have erred and moved out of order, she was always so sweet and kind to me even while administering correction. Memories of her pleasant disposition and kindness shown will remain with me forever. May God grant you all comfort and peace now and in the days ahead

My fondest memory of Mrs. Routt is her unconditional love for others. She used to pick up my two children from Pleasantville Elementary School and care for them until I could get there. I’ll never forget how my son, Quentin, was so scared of her dog, Sargent, and how she would gently console him and promise that the dog wouldn't bite. She will be deeply missed. My sincere condolences to Gretchen, Millicent, and the entire family!🕊️
