Barbara Hoffman

Barbara never missed a chance to socialize. Even during the days when she was running a house full with six children, she still found a way to make it to almost every social event at St. Peter’s, or for that matter, to any church that was hosting one. Saturday nights were always for dancing. As a teenager, she met her husband Chet at a dance, and up until recently she would still keep him on the dance floor until he was exhausted then trade him off for a new partner. This, though, was merely a reflection of her friendly nature. Born with the gift of gab, she made friends everywhere she went. But she was the most proud to have been a friend of Bill W for the past 25 years.rn Barbara is survived by her husband of 50 years, Chester, of Delran and is the mother of Jeffrey of Riverside, Christopher of Riverside, Debbie Wigmore (Don Clauso) of Audubon, Colleen Forgash (Gerald) of Delanco, Jennifer Roman (Rob) of Hainesport, Sharon Andress (Kurt) of Audubon and the late David. She is also survived by her 10 grandchildren and her great-grandson. rn Come celebrate Barbara’s 70 wonderful years (Sept. 20, 1941-April 26, 2012) Monday from 7-9 PM and Tuesday from 9-10 AM at the Sweeney Funeral Home, Riverside.
