• Notes

  Ina L. "Madge" Hoffman, 79, of Flora, IL died at 6:28 PM Monday, August 9, 2010 at Flora Rehab & Health Care Center in Flora. She was born February 4, 1931 in Flora to Orval & Ethel (Benskin) Lamb. She married Kenneth E. Hoffman on March 1, 1968 in Joliet, IL. He preceded her in death on April 11, 2002. She worked in Anchorage, AK as a cab driver, then at Western Electric Inc. in Chicago, IL before moving back to Flora where she was a waitress at the East End Cafe for many years. Madge and her husband owned Hoffman Concession Inc. until she retired. She was a member of the Eagles and Old St. Patrick's Church in Chicago. Madge had a strong spirit and accepted every challenge. She loved the outdoors, her dog "Troubles", and her horses "Jr." & "Buddy" whom she was in many parades with. She taught us to have a good heart and be strong. We were priviledged to have her touch our lives with her loving nature as a mother, sister, grandmother, and aunt. She will long be treasured by those who loved her. Surviving is her daughter: Madeline Roberts & husband Sgt. Michael (USMC); granddaughter: Sherry Followell & husband Eric; step-granddaughter: Karen Kaye Hunley; two great-grandsons: Kalob & Kyle Followell; two step-great-granddaughters: Bridget & Brandi; two sisters: Marion Burgess and Mary Wilson; brother-in-law: Babe Fordice; along with several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, four brothers (Orie, William, Roscoe & Ray Lamb), three sisters (Myrtle Maroney, Mona Wilson & Mae Cook), and son-in-law (David Reynolds). Graveside services will be held at 11 AM Saturday (August 14, 2010) at Elmwood Cemetery in Flora. Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society. Frank & Bright Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
