Home State: Nebraska
Crash Anniversary: December 7, 2013
Terry Jo Hofer was a vibrant woman – full of life. She was so many things to so many people.
"One of the biggest challenges I have faced and continue to face every day, started on Saturday December 7th, 2013. I will never forget this date. It was my mother’s day off, but she had been asked to train a new employee. At 3:00 p.m. on Highway 26, near Oshkosh, Nebraska, they met Edward Hood. It was the last meeting my mother would ever have. While sitting in a ditch on the side of a 2 lane highway, she was hit head on.
From what we know our mother was killed instantly. Her passenger, survived, but has a lifetime of challenges ahead. Her life will never be the same. None of ours will. As for Hood, he was sentenced for his crime in June of 2017." Toby Antonson, son.
Terry Jo Hofer’s life was cut too short. She was ripped out of the lives of her children, grandchildren, husband, parents, siblings, relatives and friends. She was killed by a repeat offender, an addict who cared more about getting loaded than the safety and security of others.
Terry Jo and her family are one of too many and why we must stand together to end impaired driving.
