Obituary --
" Anita Ramona Hoover Reid, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, December 23rd in Modesto California. She is survived by her sons, Bruce (Janet) , Randy (Sharon) and Marc (Tracy) Hoover; brothers Ron (Dolores) and Alan (Millie) Leal; several step-children; eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Arthur Hoover, husband John Reid and sister, Judy DeCambra.
Anita was born November 30, 1933 in San Leandro, California, the daughter of Louie and Dorothy Leal. She married Art Hoover in 1955 and they settled in Hayward where they started their family. After about 7 years there, they moved to Livermore, CA and lived there for about 11 years before moving to Ripon, CA. Her husband, Art, died there in 1987 after a battle with cancer.
Anita then moved to Mountain Ranch, CA where she met and married John Reid. They enjoyed living in their mountain home for about 5 years before moving to Riverbank, CA. There they both enjoyed John's passion of going to air shows, hunting treasures at local garage sales and playing bingo every chance, they got. She adored her family and her dogs. Her feisty spirit will be missed by all who knew her.

While going through her papers atter her death, her marriage certificate to Art Hoover was found and presented a new mystery. It listed her name as "Anita R. Pedroni" and they were merried on 12 March 1955 in Washoe County, Nevada. The name "Pedroini" was not known to any of ther sons. Anita's brother, Ron, confirmed that she had been married previously and the fellow died suddenly. He had few other details. A search of Ancestry and Family search has not revealed her marriage to a Mr. Pedroni or his death.
