A service will be held on Friday, March 24 at 11:00 a.m. at the Luthern Church of the Cross, 560 Arlington Avenue, Winnipeg. Burial will take place at the St. Vital Cemetery, 236 River Road, Winnipeg.

I was just looking for an obituary and came across Hilda. I am so very sorry to be reading of Hilda's passing. I have many fond memories of Hilda from when I cared for her in Maples Care Home. My condolences to Hilda's family. RIP Hilda, Janet - Posted by: Janet Skinner (Former care assistant) on: Mar 22, 2017

It's been many years since I last saw Tante (Aunt) Hilda. It may have been during the time Monika and Allan Boch were married :). Even though we lived in Winnipeg until I was 6, it was when we visited after moving to Minnesota that I remember Tante Hilde most. She worked hard during the day and then came home to her family. I, too, remember wonderful large family meals downstairs in the basement and impromtu meals in the kitchen when I had my first experience with tomato soup with rice. Yum! Alice, Monika and Ralph (and families) I send my warmest condolences and love during this hard week. - Posted by: Diane (Neubauer) Holzschuh (Niece) on: Mar 20, 2017

I just wanted to send my condolences to Alice, Monica, Ralph and families in the passing of their lovely mom ( my aunty). Even though we saw you all only occasionally, I always felt the love of family when we were together. My dad was very sad to hear of his sister's passing, and both he and my mom also send their deepest sympathy. May the memories that you cherish of your mom stay safely tucked away in your hearts, and may she rest in God's eternal peace.

I was sorry to hear of Alice's mom Hilda's passing. She was such a sweet soft spoken woman that will be missed. Some of our fondest teenaged memories are from Alice's House. We would be downstairs and would hear from the top of the stairs .. Alice??? Alice!! Then a flurry of German would follow! We never knew if she was in trouble or if they were just talking about snacks! Speaking of snacks, Hilda by far made the best Corned Beef sandwiches, which I would beg for everything I would visit! I hope your memories of your lovely mother will sustain you during this difficult time. Thinking of you and wishing you Peace. Love, Debbie xo - Posted by: Debbie Powley (Friend) on: Mar 19, 2017

Our love and condolences go out to our two nieces Alice, Monika and our nephew Ralf. We have known Hilda as a loving kind Sister-In-Law and a loving Mom to her three children. Hilda loved her family with all that was with in her. She cherished her children and their friends. Hilda was a very giving, kind, hard working gentle person and we will miss her a lot. May God bless here and give her eternal piece. Amen - Posted by: Maria & Joseph Neubauer (Sister & Brother-In-Law) on: Mar 18, 2017
