Barbara Catherine Ildebrando, 67, of The Woodlands, passed away peacefully July 13, 2015. A native New Yorker, she met and married her husband, Frank Ildebrando, and moved to Houston in 1969. They just recently celebrated 48 years of marriage. Barbara’s passion was in raising her 3 children, spending quality time with her 6 grandchildren, and weekly bowling leagues with her friends. Her generous spirit created instant friendships with strangers by always helping others in any way she could. She is survived by her husband Frank Ildebrando; her children John Ildebrando, Frank Ildebrando and Angela Broxterman; her grandchildren, Tori Ildebrando, Hudson, Hayden and Hallie Ildebrando and Jacob and Maddie Broxterman; and her twin sister Mary Meisner.
