It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thea Hildebrandt on April 29, 2021. Thea was born in Kepa Zatorska, Poland on July 1, 1926 to Natalie and Daniel Hein, the 6th of their 8 children. After World War II, she immigrated to Canada where she met her husband, Waldemar. They were married in 1952 and settled in Edmonton to raise their family. Thea was an accomplished seamstress, but gardening was her passion. Her home and yard were always filled with colourful plants and flowers, and she rescued many a dying plant with her talented green thumb. Thea is survived by her sons Ron (Lesia) and Arnie (Cindy), four grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by Waldemar in 1994.
The family would like to thank the staff at Good Shepherd Society and Good Samaritan Nursing Home Southgate for the compassionate care she received. Interment will be at South Haven Cemetery, 5004 Meridian St. NW, Edmonton.
