On Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024, Summer Andrea Marie Hoffman-Menard, took her last breath on Mother Earth in Ramara Township, Ontario. Her passing was sudden and unexpected.
In her 29 years, Summer will be remembered most for her carefree nature, adventurous heart and her deep connection to Mother Earth. She loved to hike barefoot and enjoyed it most when her 8 year old son Grey, her pride and joy, was by her side. She expressed her creativity best while wood burning and gifted most of her work to loved ones. Summer was a great listener with a calming presence and generously shared her time and energy to those who needed her. You will now find her wildflower spirit in everything beautiful around you.
Summer will be deeply missed by her 8-year-old son Grey Ford-Menard, mother Kathleen Wabegijig, father Robert Hoffman, sisters Shaelyn, Jessica and Rayne, stepfather Doug Noganosh, grandparents Robert (Linda), Annmarie (Dave), predeceased by grandparents Karen, Butch, and Ray, her Auntie Karen and cousins, Aunt Kim (Todd) and cousins, Uncle Tim (Cathy) and cousins, Uncle Ted (Kim) and cousins, and many extended family and friends. The love she shared with you will never die. Visitation will take place at Carson Funeral Home, 54 Coldwater St East in Orillia (705) 326-3595 on Tuesday, July 9th from 2 to 4 pm and 7 to 9 pm. Visitation at the Rama Community Hall, 5950 Rama Road, Rama First Nation Wednesday, July 10 at 10 am followed by the funeral at 11 am. Reception to follow.
We are appreciative of the tremendous support from family, friends, Rama First Nation, and the extended law enforcement family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Go Fund Me campaign created to provide Grey with the life his mom dreamed for him. “
