Family and friends gather to remember Maureen Hoffman, 86, this week. The longtime Menlo Park resident died on Nov. 30.

On Wednesday (Dec. 5), a rosary will be held at 7 p.m. at St. Raymond Catholic Church at 1100 Santa Cruz Ave. in Menlo Park.

The following day a Mass will be held at the church at 10:30 a.m. The family requests that memorial donations be made in Maureen's name to Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health at 400 Hamilton Ave., Suite 340, Palo Alto, CA 94301.
