She was a native of Guilford County. As a young lady, Mrs. Stover attended Our Lady of Miraculous Medal Catholic School. She had faith in a mustard seed and was highly favored.  She has been a proud serving member of St. Mary Catholic Church for 50 plus years. She was an outstanding wife for 52 years to the late George Stover, Jr.  Mrs. Stover was born into a large family as she and her twin brother Robert Lee Kennedy were the second youngest out of 13 siblings.

Mrs. Stover cherished each moment in life and understood this place on earth was her temporary home. Her hobbies included playing card games, bingo, listening to music, and watching western tv shows. She was a phenomenal cook and served each meal with love. She loved being with her friends and family. Her favorite meal was Fried Flounder with "extra" sweet tea. She loved her Carolina Basketball team. Christmas and Thanksgiving were her favorite holidays. Three musketeers were her favorite candy, and she loved an ice-cold Pepsi.
