Carl Hooks Obituary
It is with a heavy heart that the Hooks family announces the passing of Carl Bernard Hooks. Carl passed away on Wednesday, Nov. 29 in Dublin at the age of 98.
He was born in Emanuel County, Georgia. On his 18th birthday, he married his high school sweetheart, Eloyce Giles. Shortly after their marriage, Carl was off to France with the U.S. Army where he fought with heroism at the Battle of the Bulge.
As an active member of the Pine Forest Methodist Church, Carl lived his life according to his Christian values and led others by his example.
Carl's marriage to Eloyce for 70 years was the gold standard of commitment. He was beloved by his family for his playful kindness and endeared by many in the Dublin community.
Carl was preceded in death by his wife Eloyce Giles Hooks (2013), sons Daniel Carl Hooks and David Nelson Hooks, his three sisters Francis Hooks Kea, Margaret Hooks Thompson and Nina Hooks McCutcheon. He is survived by his daughter Mary McCollister Finch, six grandchildren, Daniel Carl Hooks, Jr, JoBett Hooks Smith, Porter Watson McCollister lll, Matthew Flanders McCollister, John Chappel McCollister, Carla Eloyce Pittman, and eleven great grandchildren.
