HOFFMAN, Libby R., Ed.D., 79, of Richmond, died Friday, April 8, 2011. She is survived by her daughters, Deborah L.

She was responsible for founding the Richmond Meals on Wheels program. Libby received her doctorate in Counselor Education from UVA and her master's from the College of William and Mary. She taught at James Madison, William and Mary and Virginia Tech. Her personal and professional achievements were many, but her proudest moments were her daughters and with a close circle of lifelong friendships.

Dear Family of Libby Hoffman,
Libby was a good friend while we worked together on the Virginia Counselors Association board for over 30 years. She gave so much to the organization. She will be missed.

I had Dr. Hoffman for two short summer school classes in Counselor Education at VCU. She was a meticulous and organized teacher who knew her subject well and who respected her students.
