M. Grantt Obituary
Louise was born on April 6, 1945, in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, a daughter of the late Joseph and Margaret (née Eaken) Hoffman. She was raised in Chambersburg, where in 1963 she graduated from Chambersburg High School. In 1971, Louise relocated to Naples, Florida, a community she proudly called home and in 1988 after her marriage she moved to Bonita Springs, FL.
After moving to Southwest Florida, Louise dedicated many years of service as a church secretary. She worked faithfully at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Naples until 2010, where she was known for her kindness, organization, and welcoming spirit. She then continued her ministry of service at Hope Lutheran Church in Bonita Springs, where she worked for the next ten years before retiring in 2020.
On August 20, 1988, Louise married the love of her life, Alex P. Grantt. Together, they shared 37 years of marriage filled with devotion, companionship, and love. In her spare time, Louise found joy in sewing and needlepointing, working on word search and jigsaw puzzles, and spending time with family.
She is survived by her loving husband, Alex P. Grantt of Bonita Springs, Florida; her brother, Joseph Ray Hoffman and his wife, Carolyn, of Dawson, Alabama; her sister, Marie Hoffman of Charleston, West Virginia; eight nieces and nephews; and thirteen grand-nieces and grand-nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents.
