Joan Susanna Hoffman

Joan Susanna Hoffman peacefully passed in her sleep Monday, June 6, 2022, at the age of 89 in White Rock, BC. Joan was a long-time resident of Abbotsford and grew up in North Vancouver. She married the love of her life, Bob Hoffman, in 1954 and they raised 3 children. Jane Baker Wheeler (Brian), Carolyn Hoffman Morneau, and Robert Hoffman (Greg).

Great-grandchildren: Gabrielle, Callie, Sawyer, Hartley, William, Emma

Joan loved the ocean and often talked about her family outings to White Rock when she was a girl. Joan studied RN nursing after high school. Bob and Joan were true entrepreneurs and always had a venture on the go. From raising Labrador Retrievers, starting and running a sewing store, and earning her English literary degree, Joan was an achiever - she went on to run the Abbotsford Family Services Day Care program for several years.

Bob and Joan were world travelers with many countries under their belt and a keen desire to see more.

Joan’s intense struggle with Alzheimer’s has been very long and tumultuous; a vicious disease that robs both the afflicted and their family of their dreams and memories. Joan’s family will celebrate her life in a closed private ceremony to share the many stories of how Mom and Grandma impacted and enriched our lives forever.
