Frank Hoover Obituary
Franklin “Frank” George Hoover, 92, peacefully entered into eternal rest on Saturday, October 11th, 2025, at his home, surrounded by family. Frank Hoover was the beloved husband of Patricia Jean Hoover, together for over 50 years.
Born in Milton, Pennsylvania, Frank proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps. Following his military service, he built a long and respected career as a pipefitter. For most of his later years, he resided in Augusta, Georgia, within walking distance of many of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. An outdoors enthusiast and sports fan, Frank rarely missed a Braves game or the opportunity to cheer on the Georgia Bulldogs and Penn State Nittany Lions from the comfort of home with his family.
He is survived by daughters Teri Leppo (Michael), Julie Landis (Douglas), Tricia Socky (Kevin) and son Rickamer Hoover (Jessica). He was preceded in death by Carolyn Tobias Hoover, Jeffrey Hoover, Kathi Facciani (Timothy), and Sharlene Hoover. Frank was a proud grandfather to Casey (Danny), Hayley, Christine, Carly, Weston, Andrew (Sarah), and Michelle (Dakota), and enjoyed sharing in the lives of great-grandchildren Brayden, Wyatt, and Tucker, with two more great-grandchildren joyfully anticipated in 2026.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
