Barbara Diane Hoffer

I am so sorry to learn of Barbara´s passing. She was an amazing woman and so inspirational. I feel very privileged to have grown up next door to her, Rick and Steve. Barbara was a wonderful friend to my mother, Lois, and was such a good role model to us both on how to be a strong, independent woman. Sending love, hugs, and my deepest condolences to Rick, Steve, and their families, and to all of Barbara´s loved ones.

Mrs Hoffer to me growing up was always the leader of any thing she championed. She taught me sex ed in High School which was strange since I was a close friend of Steve her son. But somehow thru our shy and timid youth l, she shaped us into responsible adults. I will miss Barbara and remember her fondly as I try my best to raise my own children. Thank you for your wisdom and heartfelt dose of reality.

I will deeply miss my double-first cousin (fathers were brothers, mothers were sisters.) Raised almost like brother and sister, she was an intricate part of my life well into young adulthood. The space in my life that she occupied will never be filled.

My favorite memories of Barbara were taking walks around Coronado and watching how much a skinny woman could eat at a meal. She never seemed to fill up, and then loved her gelato and See's chocolates. Barbara was one of the happiest and most upbeat people I know. She always was happy to go and do things and always had a smile on her face and a cheerful word to everyone she met. I will miss her.
