Jean L. Hoffman

Jean L. Hoffman, 60, of Watsontown, passed away Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at The Williamsport Home following decades of battling multiple health issues.

Born August 23, 1964, in Williamsport, she was a daughter of the late Lawrence H., Sr. and Jean L. (Paucke) Hostrander.

Jean was a 1982 graduate of Williamsport Area High School and went on to earn her CNA certification. In her later years, she also took some massage therapy courses. After holding various health care related roles throughout the years, Jean was proud to work for over 15 years at Albright Life as a CNA trainer and van driver, and also spent ten years as a trusted caretaker for the late Danny Hoffer. Jean’s readiness to lend a helping hand was the cornerstone upon which her relationships were built and she enjoyed nothing more than taking care of others.

Jean had a love for decorating, transforming Warrior Run Manor into a wonderland, bringing her family and friends together, year after year, to help adorn the space with festive cheer. Jean’s in-charge personality and infectious laugh made her the life of the party, a beacon of light that could brighten even the gloomiest of days.

Jean’s remarkable ability to find humor in every situation and her unwavering determination to live life on her own terms were the hallmarks of her character, touching the lives of all who knew her.

Jean is survived by four siblings, Joann Chappell (Steven), Teresa D’Alena (Francis), Michael Hostrander (Karen), and Kelly Springman (Mark); nine nieces and nephews; and twenty great nieces and nephews; and a sister-in-law, Carol Hostrander.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by two siblings, Kathleen D. Williams and Lawrence H. Hostrander, Jr.; and two nephews, Eric J. Hostrander and Richard L. Springman.

In keeping with her wishes, services will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Jean’s name to Warrior Run Manor, 1105 Main St., Watsontown, PA 17777, and/or Hope Enterprises, Inc. c/o the Life Sharing Program, 2401 Reach Rd., Williamsport, PA 17701.
