Ruth "Teeny" JoAnn (Jacovetty) Hugus, age 84, passed away peacefully on January 23, 2021.
She was born April 10, 1936, in Wheeling, WV to the late Mildred Radulovich and the late Charles Jacovetty. She was married to her loving husband and comedic sidekick, Eugene Hugus, for 63 beautiful years. Along with both parents, she is preceded in death by her brother, Charles "Buddy" Jacovetty; daughter Charlene; and great-niece, Jennifer Jacovetty.
Teeny was known and loved by many and was a dear friend to all. Her kind smile could light up a room, and she could instantly make a person feel as if they were a part of her family. She was a dedicated wife, a loving mother, an adoring aunt, and the greatest grandmother. She had a vibrant personality and always made people laugh with her stories and fond memories. She welcomed all into her home and made sure everyone left happy and with a full belly.
Teeny was a Wheeling Central alumni and a retired store manager for Storck Bakery for over 30 years. She enjoyed cooking traditional Sunday dinners, her Monday night card club and enjoyed spending time surrounded by family. She treasured and embraced every single moment with them. Her greatest accomplishment was being a loving grandmother who loved all her grandchildren more than life itself.
Teeny is survived by her husband, Eugene "Pud;" sister, Charlotte Jacovetty; daughters, Darlene Hugus and Charlotte "Charshy" Bryan; grandchildren, Clayton (Molly) Dietrich, Hunter Bryan, Chloe Bryan, Caleb Bryan; nieces and nephews, Dean (Tammy) Jacovetty, Gloria (Dino) Visnick, Lisa (James) Blazier, Sammy (Pam) Jacovetty, Tricia (Andy) Garcia; many more great-nieces and great-nephews; two great-granddaughters; many cousins, and many friends -- all of whom held a special place in her heart.
She will be forever loved and remembered by all who knew her. Her tenacity, charm, wit, and grace will never be forgotten. Her parting words for all were, "I'm fine, everybody take care of each other, and I love my family."
