Sigga was born on September 24, 1926 in the 1-6 community to Ragnar and Salome (Olafson) Gillis. After completing Grade 11, she was a Permit Teacher for a year at Deer Creek School. She then finished high school, continued on to Normal School in Winnipeg and obtained her Teacher’s Certificate. She then taught in Winnipeg, Kilmory School near Carman and Elk Creek School, before marrying Charlie Hildebrand, also of the 1-6 district, on June 27, 1953. They settled nearby in the 1-5 district and farmed together for 50 years. They retired to Morden in 2005. After Charlie’s passing in 2008, Sigga learned to navigate on her own and continued to enjoy town life.
