Ann R Hoffman, age 69, went to be with her Lord on October 12th, 2025, surrounded by her friends after a courageous battle with cancer. Ann was born on April 4th, 1956 to the late Donald H. and Elaine Hoffman who predeceased her.

Ann leaves behind Brothers, Donald E. Hoffman and Floyd Eric Hoffman and Sisters, Pamela Powers and Patricia Hamilton. Sisters Carolyn West and Susan E Papesh predeceased her. Also surviving Ann are best friends Lori Ross and Susan Tetil with whom she shared many years of laughter and so many memories.

Ann was always so involved with her family and friends, truly a joy to be around and her kindness was always shown in so many ways. She touched so many lives with her laughter and Ann will be greatly missed. Ann loved connecting with helping others working for Michigan Dept of Corrections, a Police Auxiliary Officer and later on for Bay City Schools. Ann enjoyed outside activities including Golf, Boating, motorcycle rides and walking her dogs. Ann traveled with her sister Pamela to different destinations and those were the most precious to her heart.

Per Ann's request, Cremation has taken place and no service has been planned. In lieu of flowers, she has requested to donate to her favorite charity Humane Society of Bay County.

Cherish your time and your loved ones, because that is how she lived her life.
