Sigrid Hofele Jones

Born in Karlshure, Germany, Sigrid was one of three children, with two brothers, Heinz and Beard. From her earliest years, she carried herself with a steady strength and quiet resolve that would remain evident throughout her life.

Sigrid and Glenn were married on December 11, 1954. She was a devoted mother to four sons: Jurgen, the oldest, from her first marriage; and Fred, Heinz, and Bill “Wyle,” the youngest. In the life she built and the care she gave, her family found constancy, warmth, and a love expressed in countless everyday ways.

Sigrid found joy in simple, enduring pursuits—knitting, crochet, and swimming among them. As a teenager, she once swam across the Rhine, a remarkable feat made all the more formidable by the river’s current. She also cherished the companionship of a ladies’ group that met for lunch and then gathered at one another’s homes, talking for hours. Over time, as the years changed the circle, she would note—often with her characteristic matter-of-fact candor—that they had all been younger than she was.

For well over 30 years, Sigrid volunteered her time and energy to SCAP and later with CARE N SHARE, serving both at the same time. Her dedication was not performative; it was steadfast, practical, and deeply rooted in a sense of responsibility to others.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Pikes Peak hospice for their help in Sigrid’s final days, guiding family member Jurgen and Bill’s companion Nancy, and offering comfort and support to Sigrid with kindness and care.

A Funeral Service will be held at Memorial Gardens Cemetery & Funeral Home, 3825 Airport Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80910, US, on November 13, 2026, at 2:00 pm.
