Obituary: Hoffmann, Diane L.

HOFFMANN, Diane L. 10/27/1955 - 10/2/2014 Diane was born October 27, 1955, in Camp Hanford, WA, to Margery and Karl Hoffmann.

She died peacefully at Yuma Regional Medical Center, Yuma, AZ, October 2, 2014.

Diane grew up in Spokane, graduating from Lewis & Clark High School in 1974.

It was during her senior year, that she was involved in a horrific freeway accident in California.

She bore the scars inside and out for the rest of her days.

After high school, she attended EWU, but soon left for Arizona where she resided for close to 40 years.

The sun and warm weather, swimming in a nearby river, listening to and recording music made her happy.

Diane was preceded in death by her mother, Margery, and baby brother, Gregory.

She is survived by her long time partner, Kenneth Speakman of Cibola, AZ, father Karl Hoffmann, sisters Shannon Wark (John), Gretchen McElreath (Ron), brother, Marc Hoffmann (Tina), aunts, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

The family is planning a “Remembering Diane” luncheon at Patsy Clarks on October 24, 2014.

We will miss Diane and she will be forever in our hearts.
