She studied surveying & map making in post war Germany, then immigrated to the U.S. and worked at Monroe Adding Machines in New Jersey. It was there that she met Donald Demmert. They married and spent 60 loving years together. Hildegard & Don shared many adventures during their wonderful years together.
Hildegard was a master gardener, and loved to knit & sew. She was creative, artistic, smart, and loving. She touched and inspired us all with her positive attitude. She was an awesome wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
She is survived by 3 sons and their wives: Mark & Marilyn, Cort & Paula, Nils & Donna, 7 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.
We Love you Oma, and thank you for all you have given us.
