Jennifer Leigh Churila Hoffman

Jennifer Leigh Churila Hoffman, 57, of Meriden, CT, passed away suddenly but comfortably on Wednesday (Nov. 4th, 2026), after a battle with a brief but severe illness. Born in Willimantic, CT on October 12th, 1969, daughter of the late Alan John Churila and the late Gail Treat Brandriff, she resided in Meriden, CT most of her life. Jennifer was a graduate of Francis T, Maloney High School, and worked diligently at Middlesex Community College to receive several medical certifications, working later in healthcare for the remainder of her life. She also worked in the Meriden public school system, and cherished the children she helped and educated. She was a true public servant, and worked everyday to help others, both in the healthcare field, and outside in everyday life. She always offered complete and unconditional love to everyone that needed it, especially her family and loved ones. The loss of her is devastating, but she will live on through the many strong and unique memories that will forever last in all of our minds. She was an incredible human being, and the best mom to ever live. She will be forever missed. Jennifer is survived by her two children, Jordan Jade Hoffman and Jesse Elijah Hoffman of Meriden, CT, her sister Jodi Churila McElroy and fiance Joe of Pine Ridge, FL, her many aunts and cousins, nieces and nephews, and her good friend, Gail Hoffman Fearney, as well as her good friend Ron. She is predeceased by both of her parents, as well as her two children Justin Elijah Hoffman, and Justine Jade Hoffman. A celebration of life will be announced and held at a later date.
