Mary was born in Raymond Township, Racine County, on May 26, 1953, to the late Ervin and Norma (nee: Morrow) Hoffman. A graduate of JI Case High School, she owned and operated a residential cleaning service. On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2003, Mary was united in marriage with Kevin D. Metzger.Among her interests, Mary had profound appreciation for animals….dogs, cats, birds and horses; fishing; and vegetable gardening. She also enjoyed visiting Las Vegas a few times a year. Years ago, Mary and Kevin enjoyed fulfilling their dreams of operating a local tavern in Birnamwood, WI. Above all, Mary was happiest when in the midst of her entire family and extensive circle of friends.
Surviving are her loving husband, Kevin; step-children, Jaimie (Karl) Keeku, Brian Metzger and Nikki Spang; five step-grandchildren; sister, Amelia (Gordie) Anderson; Kevin’s parents, Kelvin and Jean Metzger; sisters-in-law, Lisa Hoffman, Dawn (Phil) Sheldon, Sherry (Terry) Krachey and Lisa Metzger; special friends (who helped care for Mary during her time of need) Debbie Roushia, Marion Allen and George Rivest; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends, too numerous to mention all by name.
In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her beloved brother, John Hoffman.
A memorial service celebrating Mary’s life will be in the Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home on Thursday, January 14, 2010, at 4 p.m. with Rev. Jeffrey M. Thielen officiating. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Thursday from 2-4 p.m. In accordance with Mary’s wishes, cremation will take place. In memory of Mary, memorials to the Wheaton Franciscan Cancer Center “Wall of Hope” have been suggested.
A special note of thanks to Dr. Richard Odders and his entire staff; Hospice Alliance; and to all our dedicated family members and friends for the compassionate care and support during Mary’s journey through cancer.
