HOFFMEYER: Christina Ruth
Posted By On March 4, 2026 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 14 Comments
Christina was reunited with her husband Jack on March 4, 2026. Born February 20, 1933 to Chris and Verna Cheoros, she was raised in Mitchell and grew up in the Cozy Grill restaurant, helping her father and brother Bill with the delicious Chocolates and Candy Canes they were known for. Then came a move to Goderich as Jack started his business and a life busy with raising children, work in the UCW of North Street United Church and entertaining friends and family. Over fifty years of parties at the pool in her “little slice of heaven” was “Mrs. Far”s source of joy. Predeceased by her husband Jack, lovingly remembered by her children, Doug and Joy Hoffmeyer of Goderich and Lynda Hoffmeyer and Harold Kloeze of Owen Sound. Grandma Chris to Erin (Kris) Hiuser, Chris (Heather) Hoffmeyer, Morag Kloeze (Andrew Evans), and Jacob (Laura) Kloeze and GG to Xavier, Noelle, Logan, Maddy and Sophie, they will remember wonderful times at Grandma’s place. Predeceased by her sister Helen Leppard, brothers Jack (Edna) and Bill (Barbara) Cheoros and brothers-in-law Norman (Emma), Murray (Pansy) and Russell. A special friend to Jeannette Donnelly, Bev Wright and the entire Wright family, brother-in-law Oliver (Jean), sister-in-law Jean and many nieces and nephews. Heartfelt thanks to the staff at Goderich Place and Southbridge and to her special caregiver, Laura. Visitation will take place on Tuesday March 17th, 2026 at McCallum & Palla Funeral Home from 10- 11 am. A Memorial service will follow at 11:00 am. Donations in Christina’s memory can be made to the Maitland Conservation Authority Foundation or Lakeshore United Church General Funds, or a charity of choice.
Condolences for the family of “HOFFMEYER: Christina Ruth”
Dear Doug, Joy and Hoffmeyer Family, I know that you have watched with broken hearts as Christina has faded from life. Losing one’s mother is one of life’s most difficult transitions. Christina was such a wonderful lady and I have missed seeing her at Lakeshore United functions. We used to also meet at the Woodland Drive-In in Bayfield. I share your sorrow and I shall continue to think of her each time I drive by Naftel’s Creek area. Blessings to all who love Christina. Sincerely, Dawn Cumming.

I would like to offer my condolences in your loss of Christina. I so enjoyed her when she was at Goderich Place where I volunteer. She always had a smile and something to say and sure liked her little glass of wine! I am sure she had a wonderful reunion when she arrived!!! Soar with the angels you certainly deserve it!!!!
Aunt Christina was thoughtful, smart and very, very funny. It was an honour to have known her, even a little.
Thinking of your family at this time.
Dear family and friends – you are in my special thoughts.
Christina – was special to know and always remembered-

We were so sorry to hear of Mrs. Far’s passing. Hoffmeyers were my first customers in business way back. NEVER forgot them for helping me through a tough Winter. Our condolences to the Hoffmeyer Family.
So many happy memories from The Maitland and from all the cross country skiing we used to do out at your place and all around Naftel’s Creek. A wonderful person both she and Jack. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Bob and I were so sorry to hear of Christina’s passing .We have many memories from long ago but will always be with us. Our sincere condolences to all the family.
Christina was a caring, generous woman. I am sure she will be missed. May her memory be a blessing.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.
Dear Doug and Joy and family, Linda and Harold and family
We are very sorry for your loss. Christina was a wonderful neighbour and friend to our Mom and Dad. As well, she became a kind and generous friend to the Fuller kids shortly after the Hoffmeyer family moved to the country house beside Naftels Creeks. We have many happy memories of time spent in the pool, syrup season (pancake and sausage cookouts), Christmas eve gatherings at her home, delicious chocolate Easter treats and visits. We will treasure her memory always.
