Elizabeth or Betty as
she was known by most,
was born on November 9,
1936 to Thomas and Ber-
tha (Ridgell) Bradburn in
Pearson, Maryland. Betty
worked at Cedar Point
Navel Base in Maryland
as a clerk typist in the
supply department. This
is where she first met and
later married Allan Hoff, a
handsome Navy sailor,
that she had told a co-
worker she was going to
marry, even before she
met him. It was those blue
eyes.
Betty and Allan made
their home in rural Minot,
ND, where she resided
until moving to Garrison
last year. Here they raised
6 children, a dog and
many beautiful memories.
Family was her first love.
She liked to sew and
made or altered numerous
wedding gowns, dresses,
and so much more. She
even sewed a fishing
house once. Cooking was
a natural talent, and never
did a guest come to the
house and not have cook-
ies or some other treat. At
scout gatherings, she was
known as the chili lady.
She was a beautiful wife,
mother and friend who
loved to spend time with
her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren as
well as many new and old
friends.
Hunting, fishing and
camping were family
entertainment. If season
was open, most likely she
was not at home but rath-
er out with Allan and/or
the family. Many a sun-
rise was spent on the lake
or in a field.
Betty is survived by: 6
