Ellie Quinn Hoffman, daughter of TJ and Megan Hoffman, was stillborn on Tuesday, May 9, 2017, after sudden pregnancy complications. Funeral Services: 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 13, 2017, at Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services, Cedar Rapids, by Chaplain Christine Wagner-Hecht.
In addition to her parents, Ellie is survived by her big sister, Melody; maternal grandmother, Deb (Phil) Fordyce; maternal grandfather, Mike Summers; paternal grandmother, Karla Hoffman; maternal great grandparents, Richard and Marcella Fleming, Roseann (Bill) Hitchcock, and Wilber (Carol) Summers; and countless aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Richard Hoffman.
Ellie will be remembered for being most active at night, especially when her dad's alarm clock would go off at 10:30 p.m. and when her big sister would talk to her. Ellie's mom won't forget her talent for ninja kicks! Her time was all too brief, but her love and spirit will always be with us.
The family extends a special thank you for the care and concern from all of the staff at the Birth Care Center at St. Luke's UnityPoint Health.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of Ellie . My mom had a stillborn birth and I lost one suddenly when I was 5 months along. I know the devastation you feel when you lose a child. I am so sorry you are going thru this. What helped me was knowing that my heavenly father also knew what I was going thru. Psalms 34:18 says that God is near to those brokenhearted. Draw close to God and he will grant you peace & comfort during this grievous time
Thank you Naomi.
