Eugene Hoffman

My wife, Ayfer Hoffman (nee Keskinel), passed away at age 82 on November 2, 2017, from complications of cancer and dementia. A Fulbright Scholar at ISU from Turkey, she received her MS in Food Technology in 1962; her honors included being named a Landgrant Centennial Scholar. She and I were married in the ballroom of the ISU Memorial Union on March 2, 1962, and lived in Pammel Court until we both completed our degrees. We delighted in sharing our lives for over 55 years. Ayfer's career covered many aspects of the food industry and included founding and managing Sultan Baci Fruit Preserves in her native city Istanbul and, more recently, developing many successful dietary products for Medifast, of Owings Mills, Maryland. She is survived also by our two daughters and three grandchildren. Eugene Hoffman PhD 1963
