Eula Margo Hoover

Eula Margo Hoover (nee Horn), 92, of Grosse Pointe Woods, peacefully passed away, November 9, 2022. Eula was born, December 17, 1929, in Chicago, Illinois, to Cordelia and Forest Horn, but was largely raised on the family farm in Ohio, very near Miami University. Affectionately known to her grandchildren and great grandchilderen as "Grandma Kuku," in honor of her cuckoo clock at her home, Eula was a doting wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother and great grandmother, as well as being a loyal friend. Eula graduated from Dixon Township (OH) High School and Miami University (OH), where she met her late husband, Dr. W. F. Hoover, Sr., to whom she was married 57 years. In addition to assuming the "traditional" role of "stay-at-home mom/wife," Eula held many jobs. Prior to having children, Eula taught school, with her husband, on an Air Force Base in England, as well as in Ohio and at St. Clair Shores South Lake High School. After having children, Eula became the president of the International Childbirth Education Association and was a founder of Childbirth Information Service. Eula taught thousands of birthing classes to expecting couples, spread natural child birthing, via the Lamaze Method, across the country, and was a major force in getting fathers ino delivery rooms to support their wives. At age 58, Eula rejoined the work force. She spent about three years with the Lupus Foundation, before helping found the American Autoimmune Related Disease Asssociation (now the Autoimmune Association), where she was the Executive Assistant, and she wrote the national newsletter until her retirement at age 89. Despite all the strains on her time, she was always present for "the kids'" plays, concerts, recitals, athletic events, graduations, award ceremonies, and was always proud to see "the kids" acolyte during church services at the Grosse Pointe United Methodist Church. Eula was also a regular at driving "the kids" to and from school, play dates, practices and did so much more to help raise her entire flock. Eula was an amazing example, leaves a tremendous legacy and was greatly loved. Eula is survived by her children, Valerie Hoover Majcher and William Franklin Hoover, Jr.; grandchildren Lindsay (Jason), Kendall, Christine, Olivia, Billy III, and Brooke; great grandchildren Hunter, Logan, Broderick, Aurora and Nova. Eula is also survived by her brother Victor (Laura Jo) Horn; nieces Karen (Jeffrey) Marchant and Andrea (Scott) Fehr, and great nieces and nephews Andrea, Michael, John (Melisa) and Kyle. The viewing, funeral service and burial took place at the Wujek-Calcaterra & sons funeral home in Sterling Heights, the Grosse Pointe United Methodist Church in Grosse Pointe Farms and the Memorial Burial Park in Wheelersburg, Ohio.
