Catherine Ann Hoffpauir (Cathy) of Beaumont, Texas, born on September 23, 1948, lived a life marked by devotion, service, and unwavering faith. After marrying Dr. James Hoffpauir in 1970, she spent 35 years faithfully serving alongside him in ministry. Her calling was expressed through music, teaching and nurturing the spiritual growth of others. She sang joyfully in her church choir, taught children’s choir, and guided both children and women in understanding the vital role of missions in the church. She was a devoted mother to her daughters, and she stewarded her home with grace and truth.

Catherine loved her Lord deeply and desired that all would come to know Him.

She is survived by her daughters, Erin Hartley and her husband Darrin of Little Rock and Lori Arms and her husband Scott of Mountain Home. Her legacy continues through her beloved grandchildren: Hannah and Caleb Hartley and great son-in-law, Ethan Adams, and Makenzie and Madden Arms. Her life was a testament to faith, love, and service—one that will continue to shine through the family she cherished.

The family would ask that in lieu of flowers, please give to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering through the International Mission Board in memory of Cathy and her desire to see all come to know her Savior. (click here)
