It is with heavy hearts that we announce Dora Mae Hooker, 79 of Devine went to be with the Lord on Saturday December 16, 2017. She was born August 19, 1938 in Seagraves, Texas to John and Viola Bluhm who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her son Frank “Lucky” Hooker; brothers, Martin and Little Brother; sisters, Dorothy Freeman, Pearl Jeter, Hellon Thompson, Johnnie Capps, and Dollie Weimer.
She is survived by her loving husband Frank Allen Hooker Sr; her children, Jana Gentry and Susie Hooker. Also surviving are her grandchildren, Amanda Curiel, Anthony Bollman, Hayden Hooker, Harley Hooker, Ashli Gentry, Ross Gentry, Allen-Michael Gentry, James Gentry and Joshua Gentry; great-grandchildren Joey Seguin, Trace Seguin, Brooklin Joseph, Tiffani Gregory, Vivian Gregory, Liam Gentry and her sister Della Linehan.
Dora moved to Devine with her mother when she was 15 years old after the passing of her father. Not long after, she met Frank and was married at the age of 16 and thus began their family and 64 years of marriage.
Dora was loved by all who knew her. She was a loving, devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was known for her sewing skills and for being a loving care giver to family who preceded her.
She enjoyed sewing, cooking, keeping a very clean house…She enjoyed being a mother and housewife. Always putting everyone before herself. She was the most selfless person in the world.
Dora will be missed terribly, but we find comfort knowing that she is with her mother and son.
