She is a retired educator from the Breckinridge County School system where she made an impression and touched the lives of so many in our community. She is the foundation of her family and she knew she was deeply loved. Hildegarde never met a stranger. She had the most beautiful hair and an unmistakable laugh that could be heard for miles. She loved cooking big family meals, spending time with her family and friends, watching college basketball games, cheering on her children and grandchildren at every activity, shopping, traveling, and camping with her husband. She was a busy woman, always on the go and lived life to the fullest to the very last moment.
