Mary Jean Hopper, 82, passed through our lives on her way to heaven Mar. 19, 2006, surrounded by the love of her family and friends.
Mary Jean was born Nov. 1, 1923, to Marie and Frank Richmond in Washington, Pa. She married the love of her life, Arthur W. Hopper Jr., Sep. 20, 1948.
She is survived by Arthur and her loving sister, Margaret Richmond. Arthur and Mary Jean were blessed with six children, Margaret (James) Wood, David (Karen) Hopper, Mary Patricia (Denny, deceased) Fletcher, Douglas (Alice) Hopper, Katherine (Gregory) Dunkle and Elizabeth (Timothy) Williams. They also have 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her parents, Marie and Frank Richmond; her brother, Frank Richmond; great-grandson, Brody Fletcher; and great-granddaughter, Winterstar Hopper.
Jean attended Washington High School in Washington, Pa., and received her R.N. from Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa. For more than 45 years, she gave gifts of love and caring through her skilled nursing career. She was a member of Star of the Sea Parish in Virginia Beach.
Art and Jean enjoyed 58 years together in marriage as well as on the golf course and the tennis courts. They enjoyed many years of spirited bridge with family and friends. A favorite family activity also included cheering for their beloved Notre Dame and Pittsburgh teams.
Jean, Art and Peggy want to sincerely thank all their neighbors and friends for the wonderful support they gave to the entire family. They also want to recognize the Sentara Hospice program and especially Linda Kenney, R.N., for making the last weeks of her life a loving and meaningful experience for everyone involved.
The Cremation Society will be helping the family with arrangements and a private memorial service will be held later in Washington, Pa. She will also be remembered at Buff's Garden on 47th St. and Oceanfront, Virginia Beach.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Sentara Hospice Program at 535 Independence Pkwy., Ste. 40, Chesapeake, VA 23320, or the donor's local hospice program.
She will continue to be our strength, courage, faith and love for ever and ever.
