Wilhelmina Anne Hooper

Wilhelmina “Willy” Hooper, age 56, passed away peacefully September 10, 2006 after a short but courageous fight with cancer. Willy was born in Raleigh NC and spent many of her early years there and in Pennsylvania, where she met and married her beloved husband Kevin.

Willy had a PhD in psychology and taught at WSU Tri Cities the past 6 years, as well as maintaining a small private practice. Her life was dedicated to helping others through counseling and support, as well as a caring, gentle relationship with everyone she met. Willy made such a positive impact on the lives of so many in this world, that it surely is a better place.

Willy is survived by her husband Kevin, Richland; sister E. Paula T. Quinn, Esq. Nanticoke PA; Aunts, Catherine Babskie, Kinston, PA; Eugina Blake, Chadbourn, NC; Glendora Quinn, Jacksonville, NC; Doris Koontz, Highpoint NC; sisters-in-law Sally Hooper and Elaine husband Jim, Ashley PA; brothers-in-law John wife Nancy, Pentwater, MI, Bob wife Sue and Tom wife Gerry, Ashley, PA. and approximately 50 nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and nephews.

Willy was preceded in death by her parents Emory and Lilyanne Quinn, and her grandparents.

Memorial Services will be 6:00 PM Thursday, September 14, 2006 at Einan’s Funeral Home, Richland; and a Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 AM Friday the 15th at Christ the King Catholic Church, Richland.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society.

  • In memory of a wonderful and friendly person who I became friends with during our work hours at WSUTC. Willy would come into my office in the Student Lounge during her class room breaks and we would talk and solve all the problems concerning anything we could talk about. I will miss her very much because we had alot in common and her personality was so calming and inviting. I feel very fortunate to have met and know Willy during the many years we both have been working here and to be considered one of her friends as she was my friend.
