IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Nancy Marie
Hoover
July 22, 1945 – March 7, 2024
It is with deep sadness that we share the news of Nancy Hoover's departure on March 7, 2024,
at the age of 78. She was a beloved sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and
aunt who left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew her.
Nancy was born on July 22, 1945, in Wichita, Kansas, to William Frank Ball and Emma Hazel
(Reiff) Ball. She grew up in Wichita and graduated from East High School. Having a bit of a
sweet tooth, it is only fitting that Nancy met her husband, Gary Hoover, at the Armstrong Ice
Cream Parlor. They were married on April 6, 1963, and were married for 50 years. Nancy was a
devoted homemaker and mother. Later, Nancy and Gary started and grew multiple businesses
and traveled the world together. She loved spending time with her grandchildren.
Nancy was proceeded in death by her parents, husband, and brothers, William Alfred Ball, Bob
Ball, and Ervan Ball and sisters, Willima Faye Mitchell, Melba Jean Cowan, and Beverly Joann
Pennington and her great-granddaughter Lillian Ornelas.
She is survived by her children, Bryan (Cindy) Hoover, Lisa (Jay) Allen; grandchildren, Matthew
Allen, Megan (Jesus) Ornelas, Jeremy Hoover, Marcus Hoover and Cameron Hoover and great-
grandson, Aiden Ornelas. She is also survived by her sisters, Norma (Dave) Sanders, Frankie
Godfrey, and Linda Lawson. Nancy will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and colleagues.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, March 13, at Aldersgate United Methodist
Church, located at 7901 W. 21st St. N. in Wichita at 3:30 PM.
"Though Nancy may be gone from our sight, her spirit will forever live on in our hearts."
