Alice Hoffman was a force of nature, she was a woman who dedicated her life to the labor movement and the pursuit of social justice. Her passing leaves a void that will be difficult to fill, but her memory will continue to inspire all who knew her.
A scholar, teacher, and activist, Alice wrote extensively about the history of labor in Pennsylvania. Her work meticulously preserved the stories of the men and women who built our state’s middle class. A passionate advocate for workers’ rights, she tirelessly fought for a more just and equitable society.
Alice’s impact extended beyond the classroom. She served on numerous boards and committees, including CLUW and the Jewish Labor Committee, always championing a more just and equitable society. Her activism extended beyond the workplace, encompassing peace and social justice movements. A vocal opponent of war, she deeply believed in the power of peace and diplomacy.
But Alice was more than just a brilliant mind and a tireless worker. She was also a kind and compassionate person who always had time for others. A mentor to many, her friendship was a gift.
Those who knew Alice will remember her sharp wit, infectious laugh, and unwavering commitment to her principles. She was a true friend, a dedicated colleague, and a champion for the working class.
We are all better off for having known Alice Hoffman. Her legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of all who were touched by her life.
