Cora E. Hobaugh

Cora E. (Gamble) Hobaugh passed away Saturday, January 14, 2017 at Via Christi Hospital St. Francis in Wichita, Kansas at the age of 96. She was born on July 7, 1920, in Hunnewell, Kansas to the late Charles E. and Ollie (Bridges) Gamble. She graduated from South Haven High School in South Haven, Kansas and on December 24, 1942, she was united in marriage to W.S. “Bill” Hobaugh in Winfield, Kansas. They were blessed with a daughter, Treva. Cora was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and sister. When she wasn’t busy working, she enjoyed gardening, tending to her summer flower beds, and hanging out with the morning coffee group. But the most important people in her life were her family. She always took care of her family and her home, and helped in raising her grandchildren. Cora is survived by her daughter, Treva Younie of Plainville; sisters, Charlene Roll of Plainville, and Helen Tinsman of Las Vegas, NV; nieces, Dalene Erwin, and Diana Gamble; nephews, Chuck Gamble, and Rick Gamble; great-niece, Michele Cozart; grandchildren, Philip Younie and wife Chris, Patrick Younie, and Preston Younie and wife Cathy; and great-grandchildren, Tanner, Samantha, Tyra, Zachary, Cameron, Jadon, Joshua, and Shanaya. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Ollie Gamble; husband, Bill Hobaugh; brothers, Garland and Archie Gamble; and grandson, Wm. “Paul” Younie. Cora was a woman of strong faith, abiding hope, and unconditional love. She will be greatly missed, because she showed us every day, that the greatest of these is love. Until we see her again in her eternal home, she will live forever in our hearts. A Memorial Service will be held at 10:30am on Friday, January 27, 2017 at the United Methodist Church in Plainville. Inurnment will follow in the Plainville City Cemetery. The register book may be signed from 1:00-6:00pm on Thursday at the funeral home with family receiving friends from 4:00-6:00pm.
