Donna M. Hofmeister (Greene)

Age 97, of Roseville, passed away on January 24, 2026.

Preceded in death by parents, George & Viola (Matson) Thill; husbands, Clifford G. Greene & Edward A. Hofmeister; son, Thomas H. Greene; great-grandchildren, James & Coral Fairbanks; and siblings, Geraldine Kohnen & George Thill, Jr.

Survived by children, Janet (Douglas) Fairbanks and Ron Greene (Deb Denison); ten grandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren.

Donna was a lifelong Como Park area resident. She graduated from Murray High School (Class of 1946). Donna married Cliff in 1949, and he passed away unexpectedly in 1971. On a blind date, Donna met Ed and they wed in 1977. Ed passed away in 2012. 

Donna and Ed bought a lake cabin in Sandstone and enjoyed their time there immensely. She loved to watch the birds, especially the cardinals. She was a diehard Twins & Vikings fan and those that knew her were keenly aware not to call the house if there was a game on TV. 

She had a love of crafts, especially stained glass and needlepoint. Her quest for a bargain was well known, and she could often be found at a thrift store or garage sale. A Donna favorite was Arby’s malts and would always ask “Can we get one for now and one for later?” She will be deeply missed.
