Cleo Hosler Obituary
For more than 25 years George and Cleo lived in Fairbanks, Alaska. In later years, they also had a winter home in Arizona and traveled between Alaska, Arizona and Pennsylvania. Not having children of their own, their dogs Mopey and Minnie were their pride and joy. Cleo was employed in the pharmacy at the Fairbanks Downtown Co-op.
Cleo was a member of the Newville First Church of God. She was much loved by her large extended family, her church family and a lifelong friend to everyone she ever met. She loved her family more than anything and she loved to cook and entertain her brothers and sisters. An evening of card parties and board games were always enjoyed by the family after her delicious meals. Cleo was the last of her 14 brothers and sisters. She is survived by many nieces and nephews and extended family throughout the United States. She was preceded in death by her siblings, Herman (died in infancy), Paul (Inez), Marie Diehl (Jake), Norma Hostetter (Emory), Carl (Dorothea), Jay (Shirley), Clair (Irene), Annabelle Allard, Florence Webber (Harold), Ruth Keck (John), Linda Motter Gensler, Carolyn Shearer Hoover (John), Raymond (Judy) and Eva Wolfe (Melvin).
A viewing will be held Thursday, June 2, 2022, from 6-8 p.m. in the Egger Funeral Home Inc., 15 W. Big Spring Ave., Newville, and Friday, June 3, from 10-11 a.m. in the Newville First Church of God, 475 Shippensburg Road, with the Rev. Wayne Good and Dick Reese officiating. Burial will follow in Mt. Hope United Methodist Cemetery, Newville.

Aunt Cleo you are going to be missed. You and all your siblings your mom and dad are all together as a family again. All of the original Hockenberry family is gone. I remember all the Thanksgiving dinners we've had growing up. We had the gym full of people and tables and tables of food and drinks. I remember playing volleyball after tables and were cleaned a put up. Lots of good memories to cherish of being a part of this great huge Hockenberry family.

Aunt Cleo and Uncle George LOVED living in Fairbanks for 20+ years. Their Alaskan friends from that time became their second family. Probably not many of their dear friends are there anymore but maybe some will remember George and Cleo Hosler.
