Janet Hoffman Obituary
Jan spent most of her childhood in San Francisco in Catholic school and at Playland. Her family moved to Napa where she graduated from Napa High in 1969. She had a lengthy career in Credit Unions and retired to Clearlake.
She is predeceased by her parents and brother, Jeff Mundy. She is survived by her husband Walt Hoffman, of 21 years, her brother John (Diane) Mundy, daughters Wendy (Troy) Hardwick and Bobbi (Troy) Fortner, son, Donnie (Lochelle) Hoffman,13 grandchildren and 4 Great grandchildren. So many nieces, nephews, other family members and countless loved ones.
She was a cherished member of Napa Valley, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, forgiveness, and dancing. She was a light to everyone and the life of the party.
Jan's wish was to rest in peace off the shores of Kihei on Maui, her favorite place to swim free.
A Celebration of Life is being planned. If you would like to be included message Walt, Wendy or Bobbi for details. Janet Elizabeth Hoffman

So sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to meet Jan when our paths crossed in the Credit Union world. She was always smiling and took the time to talk to you or just say "hi". RIP Jan

June 22, 1969 was the first time I met this "crazy, wonderful, radiant, redhead who took the time to stop in for the wedding of a perfect stranger. Our friendship lasted 55 years and gave me a lifetime of cherished memories. I love you, my friend. See you again one day in paradise!
