Emma Elsie Hoffman-Grumbeck
Emma Elsie "Peggy" Hoffman-Grumbeck, 94, of Traverse City, went home to be with her savior on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2015 surrounded by her loving family. Peggy was born on Aug. 26, 1920 in Beaver Township of Bay County to the late Edgar and Augusta (Ott) Loehne.
Peggy enjoyed working and spending time with her family. She was the proud owner of a women's specialty clothing shop in Dearborn called "Tow Bari." She also assisted operating a funeral home in Detroit with her husband, Edward Hoffman. In her spare time she enjoyed reading, listening to music and decorating. In their Florida home they enjoyed watching the many boats arriving and departing from the ocean. Peggy will fondly be remembered as an elegant and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her beautiful smile will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Peggy is survived by her children, Randall L. Potzger, of Traverse City, and Paula (Paul) Stabnau, of Lake Ann; grandson, David (Michelle) Stabnau; great-grandchildren, Michaelangelo and Raymond Stabnau; sisters, Elaine (Fred) Dore and Dorothy Schwab; and many nieces, nephews and loving friends.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents and husbands, Martin Potzger, whom she married on Aug. 18, 1940, Edward Hoffman, whom she married on Oct. 23, 1970 in Dearborn, and John Grumbeck, whom she married on Nov. 25, 2000 in Stuart, Florida; a sister, Clara Taglauer; and brothers, Louis and Orlie "Spike" Loehne.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2015 from 3 to 5 p.m., at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home. Funeral services will take place at 11 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 10, at the Gephart Funeral Home in Bay City, officiated by the Rev. Larry Seafert of St. Bartholomew Lutheran Church of Kawkawlin. Private cemetery services will take place at the Glen Eden Memorial Park Cemetery in Livonia at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please donate your time or contribution to a charity of one's choice in honor of Peggy.
The family would like to express their thanks for the loving care provided by Orchard Creek and Hospice of Michigan. www.gephartfuneralhome.com
