Cookie Hilderbrand, 81, gained her wings and went to be with her Lord and Savior on June 21, 2024 at 4:30 a.m. following an extended illness.  Waiting for her at Heaven's gate were her husband, Ralph; mother, Arta Mustard Cristman; sister, Patsy Christman Hines; her grandchildren, Misty and Danny Allen; and her friends, Mitchell Krass and Jackie Huddleston.  Left with her memories are her daughter, Diane (Carman) Richards; grandchildren, Savannah and Alex Feeman; great-grandchildren, Shawn and Destiny Allen and Aiden Feeman; and several nieces and nephews.

The Lord was very important to Cookie and although her illness prevented her from actively doing his work her faith in God never wavered.  She was an avid protector of animals and asks that in lieu of flowers you please donate to Pike Pet Pals.

To honor Cookie's wishes there will not be a service.
