Martha Hopkins
d. September 4, 2018
Mrs. Martha A. Hopkins, 88, of Richmond, passed away Tuesday, September 4 at Reid Health.
She was born on September 9, 1929 to William and Lorrena Eales. She was a 1948 graduate of New Paris High School. She married Walter A. Hopkins on December 21, 1949. They were blessed with four children and 60 years of marriage before his death on January 2, 2010.
Martha was a faithful member of the Richmond Catholic Community and was a member of the Richmond Senior Center. When she wasn’t visiting her friends in area nursing homes, she was competing in the Senior Games. She served students for many years in the Northeastern Elementary School cafeteria. She loved watching all sports but especially her beloved Cincinnati reds. She attended their home games at three Cincinnati ballparks, from Crosley Field with her Dad as a young girl through Riverfront Stadium to the Great American Ballpark. Martha enjoyed playing BINGO, euchre and taking gambling trips. She always knew where to get a good cup of coffee. A constant joy in her life was the time she spent with her family and friends, and the companionship of her dog, Rocky
Martha will be missed by her children, Steve & Carol Thomas Hopkins, Dennis & Linda Johnson Hopkins, Doug & Mary Lou Furnish Hopkins, Mary & Tom Weiss; eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren; brother, Donald Eales; and several nieces and nephews.
Martha was preceded in death by her parents, husband, sisters, Jeanette Horrigan, Kate Bricker and Ruth Elliott; and brothers Paul Eales, Raymond Eales, Carl Eales, Bill Eales and Bob Eales.
