OLGA HILDEBRAND

(nee DERKSEN)


It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Olga Hildebrand on January 18, 2025, at the age of 88 years.

Left to cherish her memory are children, Connie Knight, Ken Hildebrand (Bev), and Karen Gardner (Dave); grandsons, Grant, Blair, and Derrick; sister Agnes; brother-in-law Pete and sisters-in-law, Katie and Mary. She was predeceased by her husband Abe, sisters, Tien, Suzy, and Mary, brothers, Dave, Isaac, Peter, and Bill, and son-in-law David Knight.

Olga was born in Winkler and spent her early years on a nearby farm. Later the family moved to Carman where she eventually met her true love, Abe. They married in 1956 and moved to Brandon, where they settled and raised their three children. She dedicated herself to being a devoted, kind, and caring wife and mother. She pampered her grandsons with their favourite foods and loved the visits and phone calls from them. Olga welcomed company and always had wonderful home cooking or baking for them. Many nieces and nephews thought of her as the ‘fun’ aunt. Olga’s lifelong pastime was playing her beloved piano, especially when her brothers and sisters visited and joined in. She also loved spending time in her garden, caring for her vegetables and many beautiful flowers. Her other interests included crocheting, bowling, and watching her favourite sports. On many weekends she could be found at garage sales with her neighbours finding bargains and treasures.

After Abe passed away, Olga remained in Brandon until health issues required a move to Winnipeg in 2021.

The family would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone at West Park Manor. We cannot thank them enough for their exceptional care and compassion they showed every single day.

As per Olga’s wishes, there will be no formal service. After cremation, Olga will be laid to rest with her husband in Brandon at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society, West Park Manor Personal Care Home, or a charity of your choosing.

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • My sympathy to Karen, Ken & Connie. Ollie was more like a sister to me than an aunt. I enjoyed all our conversations either on the phone or sitting on the swing in the backyard of her Brandon home. I will always cherish the memories of those times. - Posted by: Leona Susan Barkman (Niece) on: Feb 03, 2025
