Hoffman

Edward George Hoffman, 88, of East Brady, passed away Friday, Nov. 28, 2025, at Quality Life Services — Sugarcreek.

He was born May 30, 1937, in Sugarcreek Township, to the late George and Margaret (Nunemaker) Hoffman.

He proudly served in the U.S. Navy from June 1955 until his retirement in April 1974. During his 20 years of service, he exemplified commitment, honor and resilience, traits that continued to guide him throughout his life. After retiring from the Navy, he began a second career at Penreco, where he worked with the same commitment and reliability that defined his military career.

Edward was a member of the Montgomeryville Baptist Church and he attended St. Paul’s Church for the past few years. Ed served as a volunteer fireman at the Sugarcreek Township Volunteer Fire Department in his younger years.

Outside of work, he was a true outdoorsman with a passion for hunting, especially with his brother, Jim, and brother-in-law, Larry, making many trips to Alaska, yielding him a large moose and elk rack, which he proudly displayed. In his earlier years, he spent many happy evenings with his wife square dancing and was a member of the Alamo Squares.

Edward is survived by his wife, Mary Irene (Frick) Hoffman, of East Brady; two daughters, Sherry Hoffman, of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Karen Wallace, of Livermore, Calif.; seven grandchildren, Joseph (Diana) Juracka, Clinton (Gabriella) Juracka and Adriane (Maxwell) Lienau, all of New York, Patrick (Abby) Tack, Levi (Jessica) Tack and Lydia Tack, all of Pennsylvania, and Mackenzie Wallace, of Livermore, Calif.; five great-grandchildren, Amelia and Carolyn Juracka, Isla Juracka, Josephine Tack and Everly Lienau; brother, James Hoffman, of Baden, Pa.; and sister-in-law, Yetta Getty, of Ford City.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Cheryl Tack and her husband, Andrew Tack; parents, George and Margaret “Rudy” (Nunemaker) Hoffman; mother- and father-in-law, James and Margaret Frick; and four sisters, Lois Redmond, Della Whitelock, Nancy Ritchie and Alene Texter.
