Obituary for Leone E Hoefflin (Newberry)
Leone Elizabeth Hoefflin, 81, of Dubuque, passed away peacefully on February 4, 2015.
Services will be held at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 7, at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, with the Pastor Pamela Starr officiating. Burial will be in Memorial Gardens. Friends may greet the family from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Egelhof, Siegert & Casper Funeral Home and Crematory, 2659 John F. Kennedy Road.
Leone was born on January 15, 1934, daughter of Dale and Viola Newberry. She married Louis C. Hoefflin Jr. on May 15, 1954; he preceeded her in death in 1978.
Leone was a graduate from Dubuque Senior High School in 1951. She worked at Wartburg Theology Seminary; John Deere; FDL, and in retirement worked at Walmart and Sedona.
Leone was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed bowling, crocheting, camping, boating, traveling, and playing cards every week at the Moose Lodge.
She was an excellent cook and will always be remembered for her twice baked potatoes and wonderful family dinners. She had a passion for the Chicago Bears and Cubs and enjoyed standing on Wrigley Field last summer. Her love of dachsunds was so immense that she always had one on her lap the last 50 years.
Those left to cherish her memory include her children, Larry (Lynn) Hoefflin, Knightdale, NC, Lorna (John) Davis, Dubuque, Lance (Sharon) Hoefflin, Austin, MN, and Lynda Hoefflin, Dubuque; grandchildren Rachel (Don) Hammond, Greg (Sarah) Hoefflin, Wes (Meghan) Vanasek, Chrislyn (Phil) Palumbo, Heather (Mike) Fuller, Tim Davis (McKenzie Decker), Tracy (Andrew) Brenner, Jake Davis, Jenna (Jeff) Gobin, Troy Hoefflin, Luke Hoefflin, Nicole (Kevin) King, Teresa (Kyle Baker) Reiss, and Tom Reiss; great grandchildren Hailey Hammond, Graysen Hoefflin, Madelyn & Abigail Vanasek, Alyson & Max Maloney, Rylee & Alexandria Brenner, Connor Gobin, James Reiss, and Bentley King; sister Dee (Jack) McGeever, and brothers-in-law Gene (Lorna) Hoefflin and William Eichman.
She was also preceded in death by her grandson, Jason Davis.
A special thank you goes out to Cindy, Stacy, & Jennie of Hospice for all your love, support, kindness, and compassion, and to Dr. Herman and his staff.
