Elizabeth or Betty as she was known by most, was born on November 9, 1936 to Thomas and Bertha (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 coworker 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 cookies 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 rather out with Allan and/or the family. Many a sunrise was spent on the lake or in a field.

Betty is survived by 6 children all in Minot, ND: Michael (Vicki) Hoff, Candice (Allen) Schneider, David (Lorie) Hoff, Darlene (Danny) Brown, Dennis (Paulette) Hoff, Julie Eidemiller 16 grandchildrenen: Angela (Tim) Eisenzimmer, Crystll (Dustin) Kuhnhenn Patrick (Kristina) Schneider, LeRiesa (Tim) Hagadone, Christopher Schneider, Aaron Schneider, Kyle Hoff, Karissa (Kasey) Zeltinger, Lusas Brown, Joshua(Alexis) Brown, Danielle (Waylon) Delzer, Andrew (Rebekah) Hoff, Ericka (Daniel) Barry, Stephen (Megan) Procive, Ariana Eidemiller, Alexander Eidemiller; 23 great-grandchildren.
