Hildegarde K. Baumann

Dear family of Hildegarde. I will always treasure meeting Hildegarde on the Benedictine Pilgrimage and staying in touch with her. The visits to her home in Manotowoc and the sunrises she told me not to miss, even though early, will remain with me forever and I am grateful to God for bringing us together.

I will be travelling with Fr. Volker for the service. I will meet you all then.
Blessings and Peace to Hildegardes memory. May God give you everything you need to celebrate her life and your legacy, even though you grieve.

Your mother came into my life during a very difficult time in my life. Her
wisdom and faith helped me thru. I heard stories about her youth.My grand parents came from Germany. when ever I visited your mother I came away
refreshed and smiling. She was a very great lady. I am glad she was part of my life.

Hildegarde filled the room with love and radiance. I will never forget the year that my two parents, Phil & Elizabeth (Betty) Lindemann died one month apart. Sometimes funeral greeting lines are long and hard. When Hildegarde came in, my husband had never met her. But her radiance was so enormous he leaned over to me and said, "This woman truly was a friend to your mom." A month later, when dad died, Hilde brought flowers to put in his

Hildegarde filled the room with love and radiance. I will never forget the year that my two parents, Phil & Elizabeth (Betty) Lindemann died one month apart. Sometimes funeral greeting lines are long and hard. When Hildegarde came in, my husband had never met her. But her radiance was so enormous he leaned over to me and said, "This woman truly was a friend to your mom." A month later, when dad died, Hilde brought flowers to put in his casket. She said they were so dad could give them to mom when he saw her.

May she be blessed with 10,000 flowers for every petal of the roses she brought that day that brought healing to my heart.

Hildegarde will be sadly missed by my family. We will miss her stories of her childhood growing up in Germany and all the wonderful food made at Christmas.She had a natural talent for making you feel you mattered in her life and truely meant it. We loved her like family but in truth she was a dear friend.
Phil. and Esther Hensel

We grieve Hildegarde's death and express our sympathy to all the family. As neighbors for several years on New York Ave./Lincoln Blvd., with garages backing up to each other on the alley, we had quite a bit of interaction and got glimpses of all the children as they grew. When Tina and Eric moved into the family home, we really appreciated them as neighbors, even though we moved soon after they came.

Hildegarde was always so gracious and interested in us

Hildegarde was always so gracious and interested in us and our family. It's a happy thought to remember her as we last saw her --several times at the Manitowoc Symphony and once enjoying Sunday brunch with friends at the American Club.

We look forward to celebrating her life on Nov. 5 with her wonderful family and friends. May happy memories of her and a strong faith help you through the days ahead.
