Phil Hoover

November 20, 1932 — January 6, 2023

Kenneth Phil Hoover, 90, of Mountain View, Oklahoma, passed away on January 6, 2023, at Corn Heritage Village in Corn, Oklahoma. Phil was born to J.S. (Sandy) and Ferol (Fullerton) Hoover on November 20, 1932, in Mountain View.
Growing up, Phil learned practical skills helping his grandfather, J.F. Hoover, around the farm. Phil attended Mountain View Public School, graduating in 1950. He married the love of his life, Mary (Herring) Hoover on June 15, 1952, south of Mountain View.
Phil furthered his education at SWSC in Weatherford, Oklahoma, earning his master's degree in mathematics and music education.
He began his teaching career in Cyril, Oklahoma and later taught at Wakita, Carnegie, and Mountain View. In addition to teaching, Phil partnered with his father in custom combining, trucking, farming, and ranching. In 1965 he became a systems analyst for the Department of Defense at Ft. Sill, eventually transferring to Leavenworth, KS. Upon retirement, he worked for Armed Forces Insurance as an analyst. He returned to Mountain View in 1999, continuing his work with Armed Forces as a contractor. He also resumed teaching for two years to fill a void in the Mountain View School.
Phil was a faithful volunteer at First United Methodist Church, the Senior Center, and the Mountain View Museum. He will be dearly missed all who knew and loved him.

Phil is survived by his three children, Debra Carolyn Plooster and husband Nick, Mary Patricia Lack and husband Johnny, and David Phil Hoover and wife Linda; his brother-in-law Deuane Frazier; nine grandchildren; nineteen great grandchildren; and a host of other family and friends.


He was preceded in death by his wife Mary; his parents, Sandy and Ferol; his grandson, Justin Hoover; his brothers, Glenn, J.D., and Frank; his sister, Betty; his nephew, Robert; and his niece, Judy (Hoover) Day.
