Ms. Hofmaster was born May 21, 1928 in Batavia, a daughter of the late James Sack and Christine (late Henry "Hank") Richley.

Betty worked in the cafeteria at the former St. Jerome's Hospital and enjoyed gardening and loving on her children and grandchildren.

Betty was an avid baker and regularly made bread, pies, and cookies for her family.

Surviving are her children, Paul (Beth) Hofmaster of Batavia, Kathleen (Todd) Adams of Puyallup, Wash., and Joel (Michelle) Hofmaster of Batavia; grandchildren, Colleen (fiance Mike Byron) Kraus, Andrea Hofmaster, Robert (Adrianna Koslan) Hanenkrat, Eric Hanenkrat, Thomas (fiance Michelle Stefko) Hofmaster, Sarah LaPolla, and Ronin Hofmaster; brothers, Ronald (Priscilla) Richley of Maine, Darrell (Linda) Richley of Corfu; sisters, Mary (late Adam) Kocol of Corfu, June (David) Pann of Akron, and Sandra McMullen of Florida. Several nieces and nephews also survive.

Betty is preceded in death by a sister, Barbara (late David) Hennig.

There will be no visitation. A private graveside service will be held in Evergreen Hill Cemetery in Corfu at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.

Arrangements for Betty were entrusted to the Bohm-Calarco-Smith Funeral Home in Batavia. Please leave a condolence, share a story, or light a candle at www.bataviafuneralhomes.com .
