Barbara Ann Hoffmann

Barbara Ann "Bobbie" Hoffmann, died peacefully at home in Cedarburg, WI, surrounded by family on January 8th, 2026, at age 94. Bobbie was born June 28th, 1931, in Escanaba, MI.

Daughter of the late Mary Ullaine O'Donnell and Donald Skopp. Preceded in death by husband Donald E. Hoffmann and daughter Barbara J. Huggler.

Loving mother to Deborah, Patrick, Brian, Jeffrey, Margaret (Darrel), Mark and William. Proud grandmother to Jennifer, Jessica (Tony), Julia, Forrest (Leesah), Phillip, Chance, Alicia, Nicholas and her 14 great-grandchildren. Also survived by son-in-law Robert Huggler.

Her kindness and love filled the hearts of many. Bobbie lived life through rose colored glasses. She enjoyed a good polka, camping, singing with the Sweet Adelines, a good crossword puzzle, holding a new baby, getting dressed in her Packer attire to watch a game, watching Wheel of Fortune and swimming weekly with friends at the YMCA. She loved giving the dog a pet, flowers, watching the birds, sitting with the sun shining down upon her face and a good joke.

Having eight children, she mastered the skill of preparing a meal and the ability to successfully wear so many hats. She wandered many miles throughout her beautiful life, vacationing, always taking time to visit friends and family. You could say she had seen it all. We were blessed to call her mom!

Bobbie was a strong supporter for those with mental illness, serving as past president and a founding member of NAMI Ozaukee County, from 1988 until 2024. She worked for both Wisconsin Bell and Milwaukee County Hospital, from which she retired. As a family we sincerely thank the nurses and aides from Compassus Home Hospice.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Bobbie's name can be made to NAMI Ozaukee, P.O. Box 335, Mequon WI, 53092.
