Obituary for Eloise Hoffner

Eloise  Hoffner
On Friday, January 6, 2017, Eloise Hoffner, 92, entered into the kingdom of God and to be reunited with her husband and family she loved and missed so much. She was born on November 17, 1924, in Godley, Texas, to Louis and May Leverett. She was raised in Houston, Texas, and graduated from Jefferson Davis High School in 1942. She was working as a movie ticket girl when she met Jack Hoffner, who was stationed in Houston with the military police. They were married February 9, 1943, in Houston, where he remained stationed until his discharge at the end of the war. Eloise worked for a short time at Montgomery Ward in Houston. After his discharge, they opened a furniture store in Houston. Even though the store was successful, farming was what he wanted to do, so they moved to Colorado and farmed until the opening of the Grand Coulee Dam Columbia Basin Irrigation Project, when they moved to Quincy to farm. In 1961, they welcomed their only child, a daughter, Stacey. Eloise worked as a candy striper at Quincy Valley Hospital for a few years and also worked on the farm with Jack. She was involved in the local ladies group, The Black Cats.

She is survived by her daughter, Stacey (Willard) Young, granddaughter Whitlee Young (Billy Morris), grandson Bryce (MaKinna) Young, all of Quincy, a sister Patricia Kleck of San Antonio, Texas, and nephews Cary (Deborah) Weber and Michael (Lisa) Weber also of Texas. She was preceded in death by her husband Jack and her parents.
