Margaret Hofmeister Pizzuti passed away peacefully after a brief illness on February 22, 2021 at age 89. "Marge", as she was known to all, was the daughter of Margaret Dempsey and Cyril T. Hofmeister. She was predeceased by her sister Ruth and brother Cyril T. Hofmeister, Jr. She is survived by her husband Norman B. Pizzuti and their six children, Paul (Diana), Donald (Malou), Marc, Joseph (Stacie) and Michael (Karen) Pizzuti of CA , Linda (Erich) von Batsch and Michael Pizzuti of NV. She is also survived by 9 grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and several nieces and nephews.

Marge, who was born in Berkeley, CA, graduated from Holy Names Academy and College of the Holy Names in Oakland. She attended the University of CA at Berkeley and continued her Music Studies at the Westlake School of Music in Hollywood. Marge was highly regarded as a talented pianist, organist and composer. She met her husband, Norman, when they both attended the Westlake School of Music in Hollywood. They married in June, 1955 and moved from Glendale to Granada Hills where they raised their family. In later years of retirement, the couple moved to Carson City, NV. They celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary in 2020.

Funeral Services were private. A Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held at a later date.

I am so sad to hear of Marge's passing. Marge was not only my pianist at St. Ferdinand's, she was also my dear friend and mentor. We lost touch when I moved to Arizona in 2004. Rest in peace, my dear Marge!

Marge, my one and only sister-in-law, was such great fun to be with. My children, Karen and David, loved to spend time with their Aunt Marge. Her clever retorts, dry humor, and her bigger than life personality were fascinating to them. Despite the great distance that separated our families, she and I shared a special relationship. Dom and I enjoyed our West Coast visits and always felt welcome in her company. I am going to miss her cards and notes, - so well-written - and filled with news of her sons' and Linda's activities, her travels with my brother and their friends, and her very busy life as the mother of my incredible nephews and niece. We are truly saddened by her passing, but we will never forget the happy memories we have of her.

Being one of the six amigos who dined, traveled and partied with, you will be missed. Being lost in the Pismo Dunes is a story that will go on in infamy.
