Margaret Hoover Gehres "Marg", 97, joined her Heavenly Father on March 29, 2017, under hospice care at Sun City Center, Florida.
Marg was born June 23, 1919, in Van Wert County, Ohio, daughter of Russel M. and Helen Kreischer Hoover. She married Floyd Gehres on Aug 27, 1939. He preceded her in death having been married 73 years.
She was also preceded in death by her two brothers, Dale and Donald Hoover, daughter-in-law, Laurie Gehres, and son-in-law, John Berry.
Marg was a homemaker all her life enjoying her family, gardening, traveling with Floyd and playing cards. Her religious beliefs sustained her many times during her life. Her family will miss her inspirational prayers at family gatherings.
