Obituary of Tiffany Bianca Hotzler

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved sister, daughter, and mother, Tiffany Bianca Hotzler, 43, of Garden City, NY, who peacefully passed away in her sleep on December 18, 2024. Born on May 19, 1981, Tiffany was a vibrant, spirited soul who lit up every room she entered. Always the life of the party, she had an extraordinary ability to make everyone around her feel welcome and full of joy. Her laughter was infectious, her presence unforgettable.

Tiffany was a woman of many passions. She had a deep love for adventure, from snowboarding down mountain slopes to basking in the sun on beach vacations in St. John, USVI, a place she adored. Her adventurous spirit led her to explore the world with enthusiasm, seeking new experiences and embracing life to the fullest.

Tiffany earned a Bachelors degree in Geography, driven by her intellectual curiosity and passion for the natural world, which drove her professional interests. She brought her creative spirit and sharp mind to her work, leaving a lasting impression on all who worked with her.

Tiffany’s four children—Joseph, Sabina, Logan, and Samuel—were her greatest joy. Her love for them was immeasurable, and they were at the heart of everything she did. Tiffany leaves behind a lasting legacy in them, one filled with love and cherished memories.

She is survived by her parents, Russell and Sabine Hotzler, of Garden City, NY, whose unwavering love and support helped shape the incredible woman she became. She is also deeply mourned by her sisters and brothers-in-law, Kirstin and Brian Connors of New Hyde Park, NY, Alexis and Peter Kalamaras of Garden City Park, NY, and Brittany and Henry Gustavson of Garden City, NY, who will forever treasure the memories of their time together and the joy she brought into their lives.

Tiffany’s vibrant spirit, infectious energy, and deep love for her family and friends will be missed more than words can express. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her, and her legacy of joy, love, and laughter will continue to inspire those who were fortunate to have had her in their lives.

A memorial service to celebrate Tiffany’s life will be held at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection on Monday, December 23, 2024, at 10 AM. Donations may be made to The Lupus Foundation of America in her memory.
