After surviving breast cancer and a seven year battle with Parkinson’s disease, Jeri Hoff has passed this earthly life to enjoy eternal peace.
Jeri was born to Bernice and Geraldo Buralli of Anaconda, Montana. She grew up with her siblings, Julio, Marie, Gene, and Tony. After graduating high school in 1951, she married Floyd Hoff of Deer Lodge. They moved to Helena in 1967. They have five surviving children – Sharon Soja, Floyd Hoff, Jr., Lynn Hills, Vince Hoff and Jacqueline Hoff as well as several grand children and great grand children.
Jeri worked for St. John’s Lutheran Church, the State of Montana and in her home as a beautician. She moved to live in Washington State with the lush green and constant blooming flowers and trees. Finally, she rested with her daughters in Ogden, Utah.
She enjoyed family weekends at the old cabin in the Big Hole. Birds were her favorite pet – over the years, several parakeets and humming birds kept her company. Her journeys brought her all over the United States, Jamaica and Hawaii. During the holidays, friends and family looked forward to her homemade fruit cake, rum balls, divinity and cinnamon rolls. She will be missed.
We invite you to join family and friends in celebrating her life. Visitation will be from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. and a prayer service will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 18, 2010 at Anderson Stevenson Wilke Funeral Home located at 650 Logan in Helena.
We would like to thank the staff at Manor Care of South Ogden, Utah as well as Dr. Holland and Hospice of Utah for their generous and compassionate care.
In memory of Jeri, we ask you to make a donation to the National Parkinson Foundation at www.parkinson.org or mail to National Parkinson Foundation Gift Processing Center P.O. Box 5018 Hagerstown, MD 21741-5018 or call 1-800-327-4545.

Sad news to hear of your mom’s passing. Hoping that the blessings of your family being together at this time brings fond memories and comfort at this time. Have faith that Jeri has moved on to a better place and time. Reflecting on the great times spent on Ewing St. and the trips to Anaconda will always keep her close in our heart.
Take care and hopefully, we’ll connect soon to share our stories about those times.
Best wishes to all, and give my best to your Dad.
Bob
