Glueckstein, Hildegarde M. (nee Hansen)

Joined the Lord on July 26, 2015. Age 96 years. Beloved wife of the late Robert. Loving mother of Robert (Susan), Betsy (Gary) Breuckman, Jane (John) Klunk, John (Kathleen), the late Carol (the late Rick) Wingfield, Geoffrey (Carolyn) and Tess Glueckstein. Dear grandma of Emily, Lori, Holly, Jon, Kelly, Katie, Emily, Hillary, Zoe and Leo and great-grandma of Kayla, Ethan, Madelyn, Jonathan, Mary Jane and Claire.

Every comedy duo needs a straight man and Hil played the part perfectly to her cartoonist husband Bob. She derived great pride from her work as a medical transcriber for Community Memorial Hospital. As a devout member of St. Mary's Parish of Menomonee Falls, her deep faith underpinned her kind and gentle hand and her strong personal will. Preparing her special meatloaf for Milwaukee's St. Ben's, as well as, her thirty years of baby cap crocheting and volunteer service for CMH were among her many activities. Her selfless life centered on others serves as a beacon for family and friends.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Mon. Aug. 3 at 10:30 AM at St. Mary's Catholic Church, N89 W16297 Cleveland Ave., Menomonee Falls. Burial will follow at St. Mary's Cemetery. Visitation will be Sun. Aug. 2 at the Funeral Home from 3-6 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorials to St. Mary Parish or to St. Ben's Community Meals are appreciated.
