Known to many as Bee, she passed away just 2 weeks after her 99th birthday, and was the only child of Ed and Ellen Graichen, who lived in St. Louis.
She met and married Frank Hildenbrand (d.2010) there, where they had a daughter, Kathy Johnson (Lee) of Denver, CO and son, Jim Hildenbrand (Laura) of Olathe KS. After 19 years there, they moved to Overland Park, KS and enjoyed many social activities. Married for 65 years, they traveled extensively, as well as keeping an immaculate home and garden. They had 4 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
Entombment will be in the Resurrection mausoleum next to Frank, after private services on Thursday.
The family wishes to extend sincere gratitude to the many caregivers who attended her over the last year.
