Notes:

BARBARA HOOPER (nee Wilmore), 82, passed away on September 14, 2013.

Beloved wife of the late Lee V. Hooper, her husband of 55 years, Barbara is survived by her devoted children, Lee V. (Peggy), John W. (Rita), and Mitzi A. McGiffin; grandchildren, Amanda Hooper, Raymond and Kenneth Hooper, Neil and Scott McGiffin; and brother, Harry Wilmore (Francis).

Cleveland-born, Barbara met her to-be husband in Cleveland Heights during a snowstorm on the day after Thanksgiving in 1950. Barbara and Lee married less than two years later at the Forest Hills Presbyterian Church, making them one of the first couples to wed at that location. They raised their family in Cleveland Heights.

Barbara's endless love of animals and all things nature is a perfect reflection of her gentle spirit. As a cancer survivor who battled several other difficult health issues throughout her life, her strength and courage to press on has been and will continue to be an inspiration to many. Barbara will be deeply missed by her family and friends, along with the boundless others affected by her warmth.

Donations in her memory can be sent to Hospice of the Western Reserve, 17879 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, Ohio 44110 (www.hospicewr.org/donate) or the Long Term Care Ombudsman, 2800 Euclid Ave. #200A Cleveland, Ohio (http://ltco.org/donations0.aspx).

NOTE: Per Ohio birth records, born December 1, 1930 but Evangelical Lutheran baptism records show October 25, 1931. Parents Kenneth M. & Olga (Bruns) Wilmore. Brother Harry is 5 years older in 1940 Cincinnati, Ohio census.
