Anna Winona Hoffman

Ann W. Hoffman, 78, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at her home in Salem, Oregon on June 23, 2026.

Ann was born on May 11, 1948, in Burbank, California, to Dorothy and William Ankrum, and grew up in North Hollywood. She enjoyed an idyllic childhood filled with family gatherings, camping with her dad, and road trips with her nana. She graduated from Grant High School and worked alongside her mother at American Linen Company.

Ann married Bob Hoffman in 1978, and they had two daughters, Jessica and Rebecca. She later dedicated her career to helping at-risk youth and their families at Oak Grove Center in Murrieta, California, leaving a profound impact through her compassion, humor, and quick wit.

Outside of work, Ann loved being 'Nana' to her four grandchildren; Caden Hoffman, Milo Green, Mircea Hoffman, and Adrian Robert Green. She always said the most desired role was being a mother. Ann was survived by her daughters Jessica Green and Becca Kassner.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Dorothy and William Ankrum, and her brother Craig Ankrum.

A private service will be held in Salem at a later date. An online tribute will be set up and communicated shortly.

Ann was a lifelong supporter of St Jude Children's Research Hospital. Donations to St Jude in her memory are encouraged.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, remembered for her compassion, love of family, humor, quick wit, and community service.
