Hilda Hobbs

Casey - Hilda Bessie

June 8, 1935 - August 19, 2015

Peacefully, surrounded by family on August 19, 2015 at the Queensway Carleton Hospital at the age of 80. She leaves behind her loving and devoted husband of 58 years, Patrick, as well as her children Nancy (Joe Lukach), Sean, and Susan (Ken Korporal).

Hilda was a dedicated and incredible grandmother to her three much loved and adored granddaughters - Marin & Jess Korporal and Ruby Lukach. She was close to many relatives, friends and several generations of neighbours and was always the life of any get-together. She will be dearly missed by all but especially by her best friend of many years, Bev Ilkiw.

Hilda was a longstanding volunteer with the Old Forge Community Resource Centre, as well as an avid gardener with a renowned passion for garden gnomes. She loved her book-club, extended lunches with ‘the ladies', and was known for her vibrant energy, love of life, and impeccable manicures.

A private Celebration of Life will be held by the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Lung Association.

Her family wishes to thank Dr. Nichols, Dr. Miller and the nurses and staff at the Queensway Carleton Hospital for their exceptional care and compassion.
