Tiffany Anne Loverink

Tiffany Anne Loverink, age 48, of Austin, Minnesota, passed away Sunday, March 3, 2024, at Mayo Clinic Hospital Rochester, Saint Marys Campus. She was born on June 21, 1975, in Austin, Minnesota, to her loving parents, Danny and Carolyn (Dudley) Hoff. She grew up in Austin with her sister, Tonia, where she attended Austin High School and found her love for music and cheerleading. After graduating high school in 1993, Tiffany attended Luther College before returning home where she met and married James, with whom she had her one and only child, Whitney. Although the couple did not stay together, she cherished their time together because of the daughter she was given.  

Throughout her life, she suffered from an eye disease which continuously took her vision. Tiffany spent the majority of her life blind, but that didn’t stop her from being the bubbly person so many remember her as. She was often referred to as “bubbles” by many friends. Tiffany’s mission in life was to help those in need. She never had a lot, but was willing to give anything she did have to someone she felt needed it more. That kindness flowed into her love for animals as well. Tiffany was always the first to take in a stray and make sure it had a cozy loving home to be in. Though she had hardships she never lost her passion for singing. From singing at church, joining the Austinaires in high school, karaoke with her friends, to singing in the shower at the top of her lungs, anyone who was lucky enough to hear her voice knew just how special it was. Although she has passed on, we are at peace knowing she is with her Jesus. Until we meet again, we will look for you in the thunderstorms that you loved so much, in our favorite songs, and in our hearts. We were so blessed to be a part of Tiffany. 

 Tiffany is survived by her parents, Danny and Carolyn Hoff of Austin; daughter, Whitney (Trevor) Loverink of West Fargo, North Dakota; partner, Robin Thorpe of Austin; sister, Tonia DeClue of Austin; nieces, Danni (Harley) DeClue and Jada (Alex) DeClue; and aunts, uncles, other relatives, and friends. She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Pauline and Roland Hoff; and maternal grandparents, Elizabeth and Buford Dudley.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at Crane Community Chapel in Austin. Worlein-Hoff Funeral Homes are assisting the family with arrangements.
