Lisa Hoffman, 59, died on Oct. 4, 2018.

She was the daughter of the late George and Louise (Massarelli) Eissmann.

Raised in Salisbury Township, she attended Central Catholic High School.

She went to Penn State, where she met her husband Brian, with whom she celebrated 36 years of marriage last month.

They had two children, Shawn and Allison, and raised them in South Whitehall.

She was employed by Parkland School District for 20 years.

She loved working as a teacher’s aide and paraprofessional at Ironton Elementary School, where she was devoted to her co-workers and her students. Very active and creative, she spent her time doing yoga, kayaking, crafting, art journaling, gardening, enjoying the great outdoors and time with family.

She was an avid reader, as well as a Master Gardener.

Just recently, she returned from a trip with her family to Colorado, a vacation she truly treasured.

She was a highly thoughtful and loving wife, mother, sister, co-worker, and friend, and will be greatly missed.
