  • Notes 
    • Hilda A. Veit (nee Gerrits) passed away on Thursday, January 27, 2011 at the age of 90 years.
      Hilda was born on October 23, 1920 in Hollandtown, WI. She was the third eldest child born to Theodore and Patronella "Nellie" (nee Van Vreede) Gerrits.
      She graduated from high school in 1938 and went to work for St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan as an aide. She eventually moved to the surgical floor and later took a clerical job with Anchor Transfer Company. As the years went by, she was an Assistant Medical Records Administrator at St. Michael's Hospital for 19 ½ years.
      Hilda loved gardening, canning, crocheting, and making crafts. She enjoyed taking walks in the fall with her grandchildren and spending time with them at their lake home. Hilda was incredibly selfless and was always looking to help others in need. She was a member of the Ladies VFW Post Auxiliary in Sheboygan.
      Hilda is survived by her six grandchildren, Stephanie (Tom Crandell) Boudry of West Bend, Lanae (Paul) Kovacevich of Allenton, Tim Landon, Julie (Dan) Fellenz, and Tom Landon all of West Bend, and Carrie Grinsteiner (Chad) of Stephenson; great-grandchildren, Adam (Brittany) Boudry, Trista (Travis Bennett) Boudry, Breanna Boudry, Joshua, Mikaela, Caleb, and Carissa Kovacevich, Samantha and Kimberly Landon, Danny, Cassandra, and Promise Fellenz, Destany Erickson; great-great-grandson, Noah Boudry, and another soon-arriving great-great-grandchild. She is further survived by her sisters, Evelyn Keller of Kimberly, WI, Bernice Leonhard of Sheboygan, WI; brother, Donald (Edith) Gerrits of Fond du Lac; brother-in-law, Al Slater of Port Washington, and many other nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
