(Thoelke) Hilbrands was born in White, South Dakota and was the second child of Henry and Grace (Boekholder) Thoelke. She grew up on a farm near White and attended school there. In 1935 she moved with her family to George, Iowa, where she met her future husband, Charlie Hilbrands. They were united in marriage on March 3, 1936 and farmed for several years on farms southeast of George. In 1956 they purchased a grocery store (Charlies Clover Farm Market) in George and moved off the farm at that time. She helped out in the store until she retired, but always managed to keep up with her garden of vegetables and flowers, working her crossroad puzzles, playing bingo and doing arts and crafts during her free time. Earlene was a member of the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church in George most of her adult life. In 2002 she moved into the Christian Retirement Home in Sheldon, Iowa and later moved to Colorado to split her time between her children, Sandra and Jim. As her memory and health deteriorated, she moved into a memory care facility until more care was needed than they could provide. She passed away on June 17, 2016 at the Peaks Care Center in Longmont, CO, having reached the age of 99. She leaves to cherish her memories, one daughter, Sandra Harms and friend Stan Smith of Parker, CO., one son, Jim and wife Judy, of Longmont, CO., a brother, Duane Thoelke of Indianola, IA., four grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Charlie, her parents, a son Merlyn, two sisters, Viola Heidebrink and Beverly (Cassens) Monkemeier, a brother James (Bud) Thoelke, son-in-law Arnold Harms and a granddaughter, Robin Hilbrands. Earlene will be remembered as a kind, generous person and always had kind things to say about everyone. Her life philosophy was to “go with the flow” and that probably contributed to her longevity. A Reception will be held at Carrolll-Lewellen Funeral Home, 503 Terry St, Longmont, CO on Thursday, June 23rd from 4PM to 7PM to honor her life. Burial services at the Evergreen Lawn Cemetery in George, IA will be held at a later date.
