Carmen was born January 31, 1915, in Milford, Nebraska, to Archie and Maude (Morehead) Gemmell. On November 26, 1940, she married Rolland Hoffman in Lincoln, Nebraska. The couple moved to a farm in the Sigourney area shortly thereafter. Carmen worked as a waitress at Gilbert's Café, was a clerk at Dick's Corner and did bookkeeping at First Trust and Savings Bank, currently known as Central Valley Bank. She was a member of the Lancaster Christian Church. Carmen was very blessed. She loved reading her scripture and faithfully prayed for her family and friends. Survivors include her children: Ron and wife Phyllis and Tim and wife Teresa, both of Sigourney; four grandchildren: Chris, Clint, Jed and Ryan and six great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband: Rolland in 1997; her oldest son: Larry Joe in 1956; one brother and one sister.
