Margaret Azevedo Hoover

Mom started her life in Sao Miguel Portugal with her mom and three sisters. In 1956 she met the love of her life Frank Azevedo and moved halfway across the world to the United States. She and my dad made a wonderful life and created a small family with myself, Isabel and my brother Frank II. In 1977 my dad unexpectedly passed, and she found herself totally alone with her children but made the best of it. She took over the family business and had to learn many trades to support the property and take care of her family. She was a strong, driven, compassionate, God fearing, loving and caring woman and anyone who knew her adored her. Her kind and gentle heart blossomed everywhere she went and with everyone she met. In 1982 she found her second love in Orville Hoover and after spending lots of time together married in 1997. They had a wonderful life, loved to travel, loved family gatherings and had the sweetest lasting relationship. Papa Orville helped my mom get through the tragedy of losing her son Frank II. Before Papa passed in 2021, I promised him I would take care of my mom. She had four grandchildren named Daniel, Jonathan, Cody and Miranda. She enjoyed their company during the holiday season as well as spontaneous visits to bake cookies and cook dinners or just to talk to get advice. She loved to garden and include everyone. She was someone who was calm, kind and gentle. She had her first great grandchild in 2007 named Connor who was a ball of energy and such a bundle of joy to be around with all his creativeness. She was witness to two great granddaughters being born which was a beautiful event to be a part of. Emmaline was born in 2023, and she is a sweet and sassy girl but brought back my moms youthful side and kept her moving. Abbigail born in 2024 is another bundle of happiness. When Papa passed, I kept my promise to keep my mom as comfortable and happy as I could. We arrived in Idaho August of 2024 after waiting for the house to be ready to live in. Some highlights upon moving were watching the snow fall from the skies, seeing the miracle of the Northern Lights which seemed to dance and gave us a beautiful show right above our house, the deer grazing in our front yard, and visits from the grandchildren and great grandchildren. We were truly blessed to have this time with you and will cherish the memories you created for forever. We know you are dancing with family in heaven and are not suffering or have any more pain. She passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her family.
