Family of Kimberly Hoffman

Kimberly Lane Hoffmann (Hamlin), 62, passed away on October 2nd, 2025. She was born on July 24th, 1963, in Highland Park, MI, to Jerry Kelley and Ardis Bailey (Kettler). Kimberly was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend whose love and laughter touched everyone around her.

She grew up in Michigan and made Montana her home after moving there in 1989. She raised three beautiful children — Chelsea Hamlin, Ricky Hamlin, and Krystal Hamlin — who were the pride and joy of her life.

Kimberly shared many wonderful years with her devoted husband, Warren Hoffmann, who was her steadfast companion and best friend. Together, they built a life filled with love, humor, and adventure. Together, they were grandparents to Oliver, August, Otto, and Emerson.

Kimberly had an adventurous spirit and a heart full of curiosity. She loved Star Wars, listening to audiobooks on long road trips, and exploring new places with her family. Whether she was sharing a story, a laugh, or a quiet moment with her dogs, Mazie and Henrietta (Henri), she brought warmth and light wherever she went.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 18th, 2025, at the Lewis and Clark Brewery from noon to 3 p.m. Family and friends are invited to join in honoring and remembering Kimberly’s extraordinary life.
