Penelope “Penny” Francis Hoffman, 84, of Sheridan, Wyoming, passed away peacefully at her home on September 11, 2021. Penny was born on March 26, 1937, to Francis and Marion McNickle. She graduated from Sheridan High School in 1955 and continued to take classes at Sheridan College well into adulthood.

She worked for Dr. James Batty and Dr. Hugh Batty for over 30 years. This is where she met the love of her life, Bruce Hoffman, and they married on July 29, 1967.

After retirement, her passion was directed to her work at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church where she served on the Altar Guild. She loved spending time with family and friends. Her smile and zest for life was contagious for all that knew her. She also enjoyed reading and spending time in the Big Horn Mountains with family.

She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and will be greatly missed. She is survived by her husband, Bruce; four children, Pat, Rob, Tempe and

Todd and their families; six grandchildren; 3 brothers, Mickey McNickle, and Rick Newton and Garold Newton; and many nieces and nephews.

As were her wishes, a small private family service will be held at the Episcopal Church Chapel on September 18, 2021, at 11 am.

Memorials may be given to St. Peter's Episcopal Church, 1 S. Tschirgi St., Sheridan,   WY 82801.
