Marie Joan Hoffman (née Sieanas) was born April 10, 1935 in Georgetown, IL and passed away surrounded by her family on July 8, 2022 in Glendale, AZ. She was 87 years old. Marie was a proud mother of three children: Steven Kronmiller (Irene), Janet Lewark (David), and David Kronmiller (Linda). Marie is predeceased by her husband William, her parents Ralph and Jennie Sieanas, her brothers Ralph and Frank, her sister Valerie Haluska (John), and her nephew James Haluska. She is survived by her three children, six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, nephew John Haluska (Deborah), niece Donna Haluska, three great-nephews and niece, and many cousins.
Marie grew up in Westville, IL. As a high school student, she was a majorette and on the yearbook committee. She raised her three children in Ripon, WI and spent over 20 years working at Parkview Nursing Home as a CNA and Activities Director.
Marie is remembered as an incredible baker and a diehard Packers fan. She enjoyed traveling at every opportunity, crocheting and ceramics, and reading a wide variety of books. In 2012 she left the winter wonderland of Wisconsin for the much warmer Sun City, AZ to be closer to her daughter and family, where she was a proud member of her neighborhood HOA Board and volunteered at a number of local businesses. Her family will always remember her by her sharp wit, her hilarious sarcasm, and amazing desserts.
To honor Marie’s wishes, her family will gather for an Arizona mountain hike in the fall in celebration of her life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the ASPCA at www.ASPCA.org/donate.
