Gladys Susan Hoffman, 93, of Munich, ND passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 24, 2024 at Mercy Hospital in Devils Lake.  

She was born on October 5, 1930 on the family farm east of Munich to Henry and Linda (Sawatzky) Dick. She attended Munich Public School and graduated from Bethany Bible School. Gladys married Herbert Hoffman on October 21, 1952 in the Salem Mennonite Church and they made their home south of Munich, moving into Munich in 1995.

Gladys, a long-time member of now Salem Bible Church in Munich, loved music and was regularly found playing the piano and organ. In 2019 she was honored for 75 years of service through music. She was never idle and always enjoyed learning. Over the years, she gave countless piano lessons and was passionate about tending her flowers. Her latest hobby was quilting and she loved making numerous quilts for those she loved. Family was incredibly important to her, and she took great pride in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
