Bonita Julia Hoffman

As our Lord a Savior has promised in Revelation 2:10: "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give you the Crown of Life."

Bonita Julia (Engelbrecht) Hoffman has gone to receive her crown on everlasting life, Friday, November 6, 2026. She was born November 26, 1938 in Maribel, WI to Walter and Olivia (Klug) Engelbrecht and was a proud graduate of Denmark High School, Class of 1955. Bonita married Lawrence Hoffman Jr, May 31, 1959 at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Maribel, WI, where she was also baptized. She was blessed to share 67 years together with her loving husband, best friend and devoted caregiver. They lived a life full of love and faith, committed to each other through all of life's joys and sorrows.

Mom's joy was a life devoted to her family, raising their children: Mark, Renae and David, giving them a firm foundation of love as a Christian mother with unwavering faith and the power of prayer. She has prayed many prayers for all of us through all the many joys and sadness in life, and that we know how much she loved each and every one of us and treasured her time with all.

Dad and I want to thank all who have been praying for mom. Her prayers have been answered as she takes the hand of her Lord and Savior to join all those she loves in Heaven: her parents; her sons, Mark and David Hoffman; her granddaughter, Ellen Hoffman; her father and mother-in-law, Lawrence Sr and Fredora Hoffman; brother, Eldor; sister, Elaine; brothers-in-law, Jim Hoffman and Marley Haugen and sisters-in-law, Linda Engelbrecht and Jan Haugen.

She is at peace and so happy. I can almost hear her singing praises.

God bless and keep you, mom. Until we meet again.

Well done, good and faithful servant Matthew 25:21
