Lillian Hildebrand (nee Gibson)
1932 ~ 2023
With sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Lillian Hildebrand aged 90 years, of Morden, MB and formerly of the 1-6 District on Monday February 13, 2023 at Boundary Trails Health Centre.
Lillian was born June 23, 1932 in Morden. After completing high school at Maple Leaf Collegiate, Lillian attended Normal School in Winnipeg and began her teaching career. She enjoyed teaching at schools in Winnipeg, Kenora, Thornhill and Lindal. She married Bill Hildebrand January 10, 1959. When they married, she had no experience with farm life – she was a town girl in love. She was athletic, adventurous, courageous, resourceful and approached every new farm chore with a determination to succeed. Mom’s years on the Hildebrand farm, (11-1-6NW) alongside Bill and their five children were the best years of her life. Lillian and Bill loved each other and loved providing for their growing family. The Lutheran Church was always central to Lillian’s life. She served by teaching Sunday school, attending Bible study, contributing to the ladies’ aid, and singing in the choir. Bill and Lil moved into Morden in 1983 and Mom worked in the kitchen at the Morden Motor Inn and Morden General Hospital, at the Tupperware factory, and drove the school bus. She was good company and was a faithful friend, always ready to listen and interested in many topics.
She will be lovingly remembered by her four daughters and son: Audrey and Jim Wilson, Mavis and Gerard Brake, Willie Hildebrand-Whalley, Sheila and Jon Paintin and Charlie and Margie Hildebrand; her grandchildren: Angus, Lochlan, Christopher (fiancé, Marianne), Zachary, Parker, Clark, Robyn, Kenzie; and her sister, Eleanor Orchard, sisters-in-law, Martha, Sigga and Ann and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Bill, son, John (in infancy), parents, Charles (Fredrick) Gibson and Catherine McVicar Jickling, and many other loved ones.
Memorial service at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday February 18, 2023 at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Morden with private family interment at Hillside Cemetery to follow at a later date. If friends so desire, donations may be made in Lillian’s memory to the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church 144 7th Street Morden, MB R6M 1E2
