Patricia Jane Hoffman was a dedicated mother, grandmother, teacher, Maple Grove Parks and Recreation board member, faithful Christian and friend to many.  She dedicated her life to family, friends and her faith.  She was an expert seamstress, scrabble player and outdoors enthusiast.  She spoiled her grandchildren by making them clothes, buying them gifts, and attending all of their activities. She was a devoted volunteer to many charities.  She rarely spent her time in life on herself.  All of her efforts were put forth to see that the ones around her were happy, always putting herself second.  She succeeded in everything she attempted to do from raising a family to exemplifying the Good Samaritan. She will be missed by many as she touched so many lives in her 63 years.   Obituary (Star Tribune).

 

 

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27
