Marie Hoffmeister, 99, passed away peacefully on Thursday May 27, 2021 in Buffalo, NY.
Marie was born and raised in Manhattan, the daughter of Charles and Hannah (Lane) Hoffmeister, and the sixth of their eleven children. Marie lived most of her life in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan.
Marie went to work for the United Nations shortly after its founding and spent many years traveling the world on its behalf. Marie was in Korea at the outbreak of the Korean War and escaped by sea to avoid capture by the invading North Korean army. She later returned to Korea with United Nations’ forces. Marie approached all things in life with courage, faith and spirit. Family was important to Marie, and she provided loving care for many years to her sister Eileen and their mother Hannah before their passing.
Marie is survived by her beloved siblings Dorothy Allen and Al (Georgia) Hoffmeister. Marie is predeceased by eight cherished siblings, Eileen Hoffmeister, Margie Emby, Betty Remsen, Bob Hoffmeister, Frank Hoffmeister, Charles “Bud” Hoffmeister, Catherine Barry and Ed Hoffmeister, and by her parents Charles and Hannah.
Marie is also survived by many adoring nieces and nephews. For decades Marie was the hub of her large extended clan and showered kindness, love and generosity on all her near and distant family.
