Loreen T. Hoffman

Beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Loreen T. Hoffman, passed away suddenly February 22, 2011, in Aurora, Colorado at the age of 48. She was born August 12, 1962 in Mesa, Arizona to Louis A. and Edna Louise Cluff Tryon. The middle child of a loving, hardworking family, Loreen grew up with the responsibilities of helping on the Tryon family farm. Shortly after graduating high school, Loreen married her eternal companion, James C. Hoffman, in the Mesa, Arizona Temple for time and all eternity on March 12, 1983. With her sweet heart, Loreen raised 5 accomplished sons with love and pride, as she guided them through their eagle scout and 4 honorable missions. Loreen's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. She gave us all such courage and hope and reminded us of the preciousness of life She will always be remembered in our hearts as the standard of perfection. She loved the gospel with all her heart, and taught it to everyone around her. Her passion in life was her family, teaching early morning seminary, spoiling her girls, cutting hair, going to sporting events, and having family game nights. Her passing was sudden which makes it hard to bear, however, our Heavenly Father has taken her home to continue to preach the gospel in her sweet way. She has sealed her testimony with her righteous life. Loreen is survived by her loving husband, James C. Hoffman, of Centennial, CO; five sons, James Hoffmann Jr. and his wife Emily, of Eagle, Utah; Trever Hoffman and his wife Sami, of Las Vegas, NV; Josh Hoffman, of Centennial; Elder Stuart Hoffman, currently serving an LDS Mission in Mexico; and Greyson Hoffman, of Centennial; one granddaughter, Ruby Luis Hoffman; Father, Louis A.
