Phoebe Ann (Schroeder) Hough, age 92, of Dearborn, Michigan, passed away peacefully on February 15, 2025. Born in Morgantown, West Virginia, on September 21, 1932, she was the daughter of Frederick and Margaret Schroeder. A proud graduate of Fairmont State College, Phoebe earned her degree in 1954 and soon began a career as a social worker, dedicated to helping children find loving homes. On August 25, 1954, Phoebe married Charles Hough, and together they built a beautiful life full of love and adventure. After welcoming two children, Sarah (Sally) and Charles Davidson Hough, Jr. (Chuck), Phoebe embraced her role as a devoted stay-at-home mother. The family lived in Fairmont, West Virginia, Columbus, Ohio, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, before settling in Dearborn in 1975, where Phoebe made her home for the remainder of her life. Nothing brought Phoebe more joy than being Nana to her grandchildren, Kristin (Daniels) Overton, William Hough, and Maren Daniels. She also cherished her role as great Nana to Jesse, Henry, and Mattis Overton, and Tove Daniels-Peterson.

Phoebe was a woman of deep faith and a long-time member of First United Presbyterian Church in Dearborn, Michigan. She also had a deep love for family, friends, and community, and was a constant source of strength, kindness and humor. Phoebe was predeceased by her beloved husband, Charlie, who passed away in 2002. She is survived by her sister, Susan Schroeder Millione; her children, Sally and Chuck; her grandchildren; great-grandchildren; and many cherished family members and friends. A woman of grace, compassion, and unwavering love, Phoebe will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Memorial services will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to First United Presbyterian Church, 600 North Brady, Dearborn, MI 48124. Phoebe's legacy of love, kindness, and devotion to her family and faith will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate to know her.
