Edgar Hoener Obituary
Bud was born Aug. 21, 1934, at the family farm in Hancock County, Illinois, the son of George and Freda M. (Hufendick) Hoener.
He attended high school through sophomore Christmas vacation, but he was valedictorian of his 8th grade class.
On Oct. 20, 1963, he was united in marriage with Carolyn "Sue" Smyser at the Emerson Baptist Church in Emerson, Missouri. She survives.
A farmer his entire life, Bud was also a member of Bethany United Christian Church in Tioga. In his younger years, Bud enjoyed going to the Crystal Ball Skating Rink in Carthage, and participated in skate shows. He was an excellent woodworker and could play the piano by ear. Family was his top priority, and he attended all his children and grandchildren's sports, orchestra, band and school activities. Bud was a prolific traveler and visited all 48 continental states.
Bud proudly served his country in the U.S. Army from 1957 to 1959, where he was a guard at Spandau Prison. During this time, he guarded Rudolph Hess, Albert Speer, and Baldur von Schirach.
Bud is survived by Carolyn "Sue" Hoener of Sutter; two sons, Douglas Hoener of Quincy and Gregory (Kathy) Hoener Sr. of Sutter; his daughter Tammy Hoener of Quincy; seven grandchildren: Bryce (Olivia) Hoener, Allyson (Joshua) Hetzler, Kayla Hoener (Fiance Owen Shelton), Michael (Richlyn) Hoener, Gregory (Megan) Hoener Jr., Thomas (Lexis) Hoener, and Amber Hoener; five great-grandchildren: Callum, Liam, Ricky, Bennett, and Ember; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Bud was preceded in death by his parents; three sisters, Marie (Pete) Frey, Naomi (Little) Griffin, and Pauline Hoener; and his daughter-in-law Gloria Hoener.
