Her favorite things were hosting the entire family at "The Farm", and baking "Grandma Bread" a recipe that has become somewhat of a legend among those in the family.

She is survived by her brothers: Larry (Dawna) Hoffman, Lynn (Ellen)Hoffman, Roger (Arlene) Hoffman, and Mike (Pam) Hoffman and her children: Amy (Bob) Anderson, Steven Larson, Susan Larson, Mark (Deb)Larson, Keith (Linda) Larson. Greg (Janet Carl) Larson, numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren.

Services and celebration of her life will be held on Friday, September 5th at the Moose Lake Covenant Church. Visitation will be from 9-11, service starting at 11. Luncheon to be had afterwards.

Aunt Vivian was the best! She will be forever in my heart. Loved how she loved and lived life. She and my mom visited me in New York City. We had many fun adventures!! Went to see Patti Smith, visited museums and she climbed to the top of Statue of Liberty! So proud of her then and always. She inspired me in so many ways. How she embraced life and in how she met death bravely and with a joyous heart. Honored to call her my Aunt!
With so much love, Sarah Hoffman
