Andrea Hoffower Obituary

Hoffower, Andrea Gail

Sep 6, 1955 - Jan 11, 2026

Age 70, of East Aurora, New York, passed peacefully on January 11th, 2026. She was preceded in death by her parents, William H. Hoffower and Doris C. Hoffower (Eckl), and her sister, Deborah Moore (Hoffower). Andrea was known for her unwavering dedication to friends and family, both near and far. She was a beloved mother to Donny Bautz (Katina) and Gregory LaBelle (best dog mom to Junior and Oni); sister to Gregory Hoffower; aunt to Hillary Hoffower, and Carrie and Todd Moore (Amy); great-aunt to Maycie Moore; and a proud grandmother to Kendyll and Sydney Bautz. Friends and family will remember "Ande" for her deep passion for the Buffalo Bills, her boundless love and care for her granddaughters and great-niece, and her steadfast dedication to those she loved-always showing up and always offering support. She leaves behind cherished memories filled with her unmistakable personality, loyalty, and heart. Visitation will be held at F.E. Brown Sons Funeral Home, 6575 E. Quaker Street, Orchard Park, NY on Monday, January 19th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM a Funeral Service to follow at 12:00 PM and procession to Woodlawn Cemetery thereafter. The family kindly asks that attendees wear an item of clothing to support her hometown spirit of the Buffalo Bills. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Buffalo Bills Foundation, which helps support children facing hunger across Western New York.
