Carol Ann Bourgeois Hoffmann

Carol Ann “Nana” Bourgeois Hoffmann was born on July 13, 1938 in New Orleans, La and left this earth peacefully August 19, 2016 at the age of 78 in her home surrounded by her loving family. She went to be with her Lord and Savior and to be reunited with her husband and the entire entourage of family and friends who were waiting to welcome her. Carol is survived by six children; Colleen Ann (Missy) Whittington, Roy Euclid “Chip” Hoffmann, Jr., Christine “Crissy” Margiotta (Mike), Brian S. Hoffmann (Christy), Randy J. Hoffmann (Dawn), Kelley J. Hoffmann (Paula) and her 15 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Lamar Bourgeois, sister in-law Diane (Dedi) Bourgeois, Sister Kathleen (Kat) Barone, sister in-law Isabelle Hoffmann Asbury, her Godchildren Pascal Barone III and Suzanne Kotfila and many beloved nieces and nephews. In addition to her devoted, loving husband, Roy Euclid Hoffmann who went to be with the Lord on June 5, 2016 she was preceded in death by her parents Velma “Ganmommie” Millet Bourgeois and Lamar “Dicky” Bourgeois, mother in-law and father in-law Ursula Decker Hoffmann and Andrew “Poppy” Hoffmann, her brother Lynn Bourgeois, her brother-in-law Andrew “Bubby” Hoffmann and her niece Tina Leon. Carol was a loving mother, wife and homemaker. She took pride in her appearance, looking beautiful every day. She was the teacher, the disciplinarian, the cook, the nurse, the fun activities coordinator, the matriarch and the “Rock” of our family. Carol was a devoted wife of 59 years to the love of her life. She had an unwavering faith in God which she instilled in all of her children, grand and great grandchildren. This was evidenced by the pew filled with Hoffmanns every Sunday in church. She was a member of St. Mary Magdalen Church for 50 years and prayed the rosary every day. Carol enjoyed time with her dear friends as a member of the Tri W Social Club for many years, and timeless Thursday evenings spent with her buddies!
