Obituary: Linda D Hoffmann, 81

Linda D Hoffmann passed away peacefully at her home June 18, 2025.

Linda was born October 18th, 1943, to Orville (Dick) and Avis Hoffman. After growing up in Chicago, she spent most of her working life living in Florida before retiring in North Carolina.

Linda was a selfless and generous woman who loved all animals (but through the years, she loved her own cats and 3 Boston Terriers most of all). After retiring, she began her “second career” as a volunteer-sharing her time and many talents with organizations such as the Blue Ridge Humane Society and her local theater, as well as providing much needed care for her mother and her sister as they neared the end of their lives. 

Linda left North Carolina, her dearest friend Bee, and the rest of her wonderful circle of friends in 2020 to be with her family in Whitewater for the final chapter of her life. She was a friendly and cheerful person who loved to read, travel, play Mah Jong, laugh, and visit, and told everyone who would listen that God had blessed her with a wonderful life. Linda was preceded in death by her parents, sister and brother-in-law Kathleen (Katie) and Donald Ardelt, and her beloved pets.

She is survived by her nieces and nephews, Robert (Connie) Ardelt, Connie (Daniel) Foerster, and William (Penny) Ardelt, as well as many great and great-great nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the animal rescue or Alzheimer association of your choice would be deeply appreciated.

There will be no public service. Nitardy Funeral Homes is assisting the family.
