My deepest sympathies. Although I did not know her very well, we shared homeroom at Tech in 2000 and I remember. A life that ended much too soon.

Liz enjoyed going fishing and camping with her family on weekends. She loved raising Chinchilla’s and birds, but her favorite pet was her Chihuahua, Bella. Her pride and joy were her twin baby girls and she always took the time to show them her love, even during her illness.
Liz is survived by her husband, Shaw; twin girls, Isabel and Gabriella, both at home in St. Cloud; parents, Don Hoffarth of St. Cloud, and Marion Fisher of West Virginia; sisters, Sharon (Hoffarth) Weber, Sarah Hoffarth, both of St. Cloud; parents in law, Sharon and Ted of St. Cloud; brothers and sisters in law, Shawn (Marcie), Shad, Shane (Jen), Shannon; grandparents, Art (Jan) Hoffarth of Waite Park; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A Special Thank You to the Nursing Staff at the St. Cloud Hospital and the Coborn Cancer Center for the care given to Liz during her illness.
