Emily Louise Hoffman, a lover and nurturer of all living things, passed away on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16, 2024. She was born in El Paso, Texas and began her journey creating her beautiful family of 6 after she met her soulmate, Chris in San Diego, California 1990. Colorful Colorado soon became her permanent home – where the vibrance genuinely matched her personality.
Emily was born on November 27, 1972. Her parents Ray and Ysela Ellis gifted us all our biggest blessing that day. Ever since, she has poured her heart and soul into everything and everyone surrounding her. Emily had a passion for plants and animals, cooking for her family and friends, and spoiling Chris and her daughters with tender love and care. To say she’s changed the lives of many is an understatement.
She is survived by her husband, Chris Hoffman; 4 daughters: Ashley, Brittany, Christina, and Danielle; her brothers: Chris Ellis, and Ray Ellis; and her sister, Peggy Rogers. She was preceded in death by her parents; and her sister, Joyce Tena.

1 Jul 2024I was good friends of her parents but Emily was a class mate of my son in Grammar school. Ray and I were friends at work. We all went thru hard times because we were on strike at Phelps Dodge Copper Refinery
Last time I spoke to your inlaws they were happy to have moved to Colorado. We are so sorry for your loss of Emily. Have strength in these difficult times always stay close to your
Family.
