Ruth Casper Hoover
Ruth Casper Hoover of Sun City Center, FL, went to be with her Lord on September 10, 2025. She was born on January 10, 1925, in Oakfield, NY, and became the “girl next door” when her family moved next door to Harvey Hoover’s family in Darien Center, NY. They were both 12 at the time.
On June 11, 1949, Ruth married Harvey in Oakfield, NY.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Harvey. Ruth is survived by her four children, Doug, and his wife, Sharon; Jim, and his wife, Cindy; David, and his wife, Karen; and Jeanne, and her husband, Ivan; along with her seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Ruth and Harvey raised their family in Western New York and Massachusetts. When they retired, they became snowbirds – spending winters in Sun City Center, FL, and summers in Darien Center, NY. Ruth said it was the best of both worlds.
In retirement, Ruth and Harvey enjoyed many activities in Sun City Center.
A memorial service and burial are planned for the immediate family in Corfu, NY.
