Charlotte Riley Hoffner

Charlotte Riley Hoffner, 79, of Mooresville, NC died unexpectedly on Friday, May 6, 2011 of complications from an infection. Charlotte is survived by her husband of more than 57 years, Kenneth W. Hoffner; her children Kenneth W. Hoffner, Jr. of Mt. Laurel, NJ and Lynn Hoffner Maharaj of Media, PA; their spouses Jeanne Cardi Hoffner and Pravin Maharaj; and her grandchildren Justin, Jeremy and Christopher Maharaj, and Daniel and Ellen Hoffner. Charlotte grew up in Texas and married her husband Ken while she was teaching high school physical education, her first job after graduating from Baylor University with a degree in education. After returning to Baylor for a graduate degree in counseling, Charlotte worked as a guidance counselor in high schools, colleges, and in private practice. Charlotte and Ken moved to Mooresville thirteen years ago for retirement after having lived in many states throughout the country. An active part of her community, Charlotte was a member of the Davidson College Presbyterian Church, an active bridge player, a volunteer in child advocacy work, and a Davidson basketball season ticket holder. She was a friend to many, and we will miss her deeply.
