In 1969, Lowell Hoff moved his family from Milwaukee to St. Charles where he purchased Sellner Funeral Home of St. Charles and Rollingstone. In 1983, Lowell’s son Tim joined him as they purchased Romnes Funeral Home of St. Charles and Lewiston. Lowell’s son, Gary, joined the firm in 1993; in 1995, they purchased Cook Funeral Homes of Rushford and Houston. In 1996, the Hoff’s merged with Burke Funeral Home of Winona. In 2005, the funeral home moved to its current location in Goodview and became the Hoff Celebration of Life Center. Tim's wife, Jenny, is an office manager and certified funeral celebrant, and Gary's wife, Sue, is an office manager and funeral assistant. Tim's daughter, Ashley Hoff-Czaplewski, joined the family business in 2010 as a third generation funeral director.
Lowell was raised on a family farm outside of Downing, Wisconsin, where he also graduated from High School. He served in the Army during the Korean Conflict. Following his armed forces commitment he graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Mortuary Science.
Lowell was active in the St. Charles United Methodist Church, Lions Club, and the Osman Temple of the Shriners. With the Shriners, he enjoyed being a part of local parades with his 1970 Ford XL convertible. Lowell died Memorial Day morning of 2002 with his American Legion uniform set out on his changing chair for him to wear in that day's parade. Lowell is survived by his wife Joan, three children Lori, Tim, and Gary, and 12 grandchildren. We miss you, Dad.
