Obituary of Hannalore Hoffman

Hannalore Graf Hoffman was born on February 22, 1949 in Stuttgart, Germany.  She emigrated to the United States with her parents, Helmut and Ella Graf, in November 1951. Hannalore passed away peacefully in her sleep on Friday morning, July 30 2021 after a 20+ year battle with Addison’s and multiple other autoimmune diseases.

She was a compassionate special education teacher, mentor, friend, sister, aunt and mother. She loved gardening, traveling, cooking, reading and being on-the-go. Due to her interest in the world around her, she hosted numerous foreign students over the years and stayed in touch with them. As her physical limitations increased, her many friends continued to call and take her on outings and to lunch. She treasured every phone call and every outing.

 

She is survived by her son Rudy Hoffman in Florida, sister Sandy Graf in Seattle (daughters Deborah Schwartzkopf and Johanna Graf-Gutierrez) and sister Helga Grunerud and husband Blaine Grunerud in Denver (daughter Kristen Grunerud).
