Agnes Lydia Hoover passed
away peacefully at St. Mary’s
Hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado

brief illness.
Agnes was born in Grand Junction
to John Douglas Murphy and
Goldia Davis Murphy. She was
raised in the Clifton area, graduating
from Grand Junction High
School in 1940, and marrying Homer Glen Hoover in Glenwood
Springs on June 14, 1942. Together they had two children. Following
Homer’s death in 1963, Agnes worked as a bookkeeper at
Hoover Brothers Sinclair and later at Palisades Nursing Home.
Agnes enjoyed fishing and camping on the Grand Mesa, playing
cards and games, reading, knitting, crafts, sports, and spending time
with her family. She was blessed with many dear friends and loving
relatives, and was especially proud of her children, grandchildren,
and great-grandchildren. She liked to tell stories and was known for
her quick sense of humor and bright smile. Many of her children’s
friends fondly remember her as a Girl Scout and Boy Scout leader.
