Carole Hildebrand (nee Deere)
1944 ~ 2022It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving wife, mother, Grandma and Great Grandma, Carole Hildebrand. Mom is rejoicing in Heaven with her Savior.
She left us on March 30th at the age of 78. Carole will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Nadean (Trevor), son Mark (Gail) and son Kris (Angela). She was Grandma to 6 grandchildren - Brennley (Randy), Jared (Marika), Ramsey, Carlee (Lucas), Taylen and Aden and 5 great grandchildren - Burton, Nash, Spencer, Harvey and Nylah.
She was predeceased by her parents Ben and Martha Deere. Mom was born the only child of Ben and Martha on Jan 4, 1944 in Morden, Manitoba. Dad claims she was very spoiled.
She grew up on the farm fondly remembered as the Deere Hill or Benny’s Hill. Mom attended Diamond and Lindal schools where she met Jim. Dad always says he didn’t have to go hunting as he got his Deere.
Mom was a hairdresser for 50 plus years and she kept the 1-6 trimmed up and there were not too many heads she didn’t touch!
Being the wife of a construction worker meant many moves over the years across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario. The loss of her father-in-law brought them back home to Morden where they purchased their own farm in the 1-6 district and remained there until semi-retiring to Morden. Mom and dad loved that they found their retirement home on the same location as one of their very first homes after getting married.
Mom was very creative and displayed her talent by countless hours of crocheting beautiful works of art. Many pieces are on display in homes and outfits worn throughout the area. She also had a love of cards with Canasta being her favorite game along with Aggravation she enjoyed playing with family and friends.
Mom and Dad are blessed with so many wonderful friends, we the family are so thankful for your kindness and support. Thank you for the phone calls, visits and food.
Mom was always appreciative of the Cancer Care staff at Boundary Hospital, many thanks to Dr Woelk and the numerous nurses Mom called her “Angels in track shoes”.
As the song states “There’s holes in the floor of heaven and she’s watching over you and me.” We Miss you … until we meet again … Mom we Love you.
