BETTENDORF-Angeline Hoover was born to R. E. and Flora Hoover on October 15th 1925 in Monett, Missouri. The family moved to Amory, Mississippi where Angeline graduated from high school. She attended Drury College in Springfield, MO as a music major, Purdue University studying aeronautical engineering, and Ohio State University night classes for "fun". She was employed by Curtis-Wright aircraft as an engineering aid in Columbia, OH. It was there she met her husband-to-be, Lewis Shuh, who came to Curtis-Wright after serving in the Navy Seabees. They were married in Amory, MS on October 17, 1947 and moved to Lewis's native state of Iowa making their home in Davenport. They were the parents of five children: Rebecca (Dave) Diebold, Carol, Rosalie (Wally) Duffy, Karl (Judy), and Eleanor (Douglas) Schupick. They had 9 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. Angeline taught piano privately and was employed for about ten years as an accompanist for the choruses at Sudlow Junior High and later for East Moline High school. As a "retread" student she graduated with a B. A. in music at St. Ambrose in Davenport.

She enjoyed her family, friends, playing bridge, and membership in Etude Music Club, but it was when she joined the local chapter (MRVC) of Embroiderer's Guild of America that her hobby of embroidery exploded with interest. She was active locally, regionally, and nationally; volunteering with offices and participation in exhibits, classes, contests, and awards. She was a life member of Embroiderers' Guild of America; had been president of her local chapter, was an EGA Certified Master Craftsman in canvaswork (needlepoint) and taught embroidery classes for the EGA.

She received National Certification as a teacher of Embroidery and continued stitching into her 90's.

In 2011 she and Lewis ("a pair of Shuhs") moved from their Davenport home to a retirement home in Bettendorf. Lewis died in 2015, but Angeline continued at the same address where she enjoyed and appreciated the care and love given by the staff and her family and friends.

Due to Covid restrictions, the family will be holding a private service.

Angie was one of the nicest, most gracious people I have ever known. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I knew her through the Mississippi River Valley Chapter of the Embroiderers Guild of America where she was loved and admired. I, as well as her friends, will miss her. May she rest in peace with a golden needle in her lapel.

Angie was one of my teachers when I was GCC chairman for EGA. A delightful and talented lady who was always bubbling! A good friend and a wonderful long life.

I learned so much from Angie and had wonderful talks with her while stitching. She was such a beautiful lady and such a treasure to MRVC. God has a special place for Angie. I know she is embroidering robes for the angels.

It was a pleasure and a privilege for me to know and work and play with Angie. In reference to the categories below, I considered Angie a friend, a student (during her Ambrose time), and a colleague piano teacher. I treasure a small embroidery piece she created and gave to me. Peace to her family at this time of transition.

I have so many memories of Angie and Lew. We lived across the street from them on Ridgewood for a number of years. Including the August when Dave and I were both gone for a few days leaving our 2 sons in the care of Dave's parents. There was a power outage and Angie and Lew brought coffee and help to them. They were most kind. And I remember how much they loved their side porch. May they both rest in peace.

So very sorry to her of your mothers passing Carol. I enjoyed playing card with her in our 500 club. I met you a few times while you were visiting mom at the Fountains. Prayers for comfort and peace.
