Ruth Louisa Hoover

Ruth L. Hoover, 92, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, January 23, 2019. She was a wonderful, loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister and always had a smile on her face. She was born on September 11, 1926 in Village of Welcome, Minnesota to Walter and Sadie Bicknase, and she was the oldest of 17 children. Her family moved to Chicago, IL where she met and got married to Homer A. Hoover, Jr. for over 50 years and had three children, Dennis, Deborah, and Kevin.

In 1962 they moved to Sunrise, FL where she was a waitress most of her life at the Round Table Restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. She then got a job making wiring devices as big as your thumbnail before retiring in 1992 and moved to Williston, FL. She was very devoted to her church, First Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday school and sang in the choir.

She is survived by her daughter, Deborah L. Bradshaw, daughter-in-law, Susan Hoover, grandchildren, Theodore E. Bradshaw, III., Nicholas A. Bradshaw, Kevin C. Hoover, Julie Hood-Barnett, and Denise Atkins, great grandchildren and a lot of nieces and nephews. Surviving siblings: Donna Fietsma, Earl Bicknase, Richard Bicknase, Nancy Reese, Linda Dombrowski, Karen Dombrowski, Wayne Bicknase, and Sandy Groshek.

The family will hold a memorial service and a Celebration of Life at a later date.

She will be reunited with her husband at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, FL. and her two sons in heaven.
