Hope was a 1981 graduate of Clark Co. R-1 High School. She was employed the last twenty-three years by Hearth and Home Heatilator at Mt. Pleasant, IA.

Hope loved attending yard sales, craft shows, and spending time camping. One of her favorite times to camp was during the Clark Co. Mule Fest. She looked forward to having the first tomato out of her dad's garden each year and this year did not disappoint her. Hope could sometimes be considered a "baby hog" as she loved holding any and all little babies. More than anything, Hope loved her family. Each and every one of them was special to her and the word "step" was not included in her vocabulary. She leaves a legacy of friendship, family, love and hope.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, August 3, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. at Wilson Funeral Home in Kahoka with Pastor Shawn McAfee officiating. Recorded music selections were: "Sissy's Song", "Humble & Kind" and "You Are My Sunshine". Cremation followed.
