Obituary
MADISON - Elizabeth L. “Betty” Hoffmann, age 84, of Madison, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, Sept. 27, 2019 at Meriter Hospital. She was born on Oct. 21, 1934, in Ashton, the daughter of Anton and Francis (Adler) Meier. Elizabeth was united in marriage to Robert Hoffmann on March 3, 1956. Elizabeth loved her family which is evident if you ever carried on a conversation with her. She loved Christmas and worked very hard to make each Christmas a special event; some would say Christmas was year-round in her home. She enjoyed baking, flowers and playing cards. In more recent years, Elizabeth and Robert enjoyed trips to the casino and simply spending time with their family. Elizabeth is survived by her husband, Robert; son, Robert (Treasure) Hoffmann Jr.; two daughters, Cheryl (Fred) Kiefer and Toni (Dale) Fredenberg; daughter-in-law, Lajean Hoffmann; grandchildren, Katie Schweinler, Shawn Hoffmann, Betsy Woerth, Freddy Kiefer, Anthony Kiefer, Emily Rhodes; and great-grandchildren, Makenna, Cal, Carson, Madysen, Brandt, Cole, Abigail, Kaylee, Ellie, Cameron, and a great-granddaughter on the way and her sister, Doris (Buck) Rindfliesch. She was preceded in death by her parents and son, Richard Hoffmann.

The neighborhood will never be the same. Raising kids together. Going through Families tragedies . The best is the memories we made. The Power walks around the block. ( if power walks take an hour or more) We usually ran into a neighbor . That would end the power part. Go to the Dells gambling on Friday nights, but then we found going to Ho Chunk Madison was closer. Betty loved my Kids , and all the kids in the neighbor hood. My kids and Grand kids remember Betty as a Second Mom , third Grandma. The heavens better be ready for this feisty , fun loving lady. Her Son Richie is waiting with open arms. Till we meet again Betty Lou. Miss you all ready.
