Becky died surrounded by family Saturday, May 20 at Riverside Hospital in Columbus. She was born January 1, 1940 in Pittsburgh, PA, to the late James and LuEllen Paisley. She was raised with her older brother and younger sister in Irondale, Ohio. She was a 1962 graduate of Muskingum College.

Becky was a person of deep faith and a dedicated member of the First Presbyterian Church since 1972. She served as both Elder and Deacon and was also a retired Stephen Minister.

She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who will be dearly missed.

Surviving are her husband of 9 years, James Hoover; the children of her first marriage to John Bain: James (Julie) Bain of Granville, Stephen (Michelle) Bain of Granville, and Ellen Bain of Ojai, CA; her step-children from her second marriage to Lawrence Clarke: Katherine Clarke (Andrew Hoover) of Washington, DC, and Michael (Staci) Clarke of Williamsburg, VA; Jim Hoover’s sons: David (Karen) Hoover and Daniel (Jess) Hoover of Frazeysburg; grandchildren Rachel, Olivia, and Jackson Bain; Georgia and Thomas Bain; Calder and Adrienne Hoover; Alexander and Amelia Clarke; and Jimmy, Emily, Austin, and Siarra Hoover.
