Read More	Hilda Krieger was born June 28, 1922, in Huntley, Mont., to John Adam and Lydia Pope, who came to the United States from a German Colony in Russia. She was born third in a family of six children. On March 18, 2012, the Lord called home his finest Angel, Hilda. At the age of 89, she had endured more surgeries and pain than most people, but always had a smile and hug for anyone who would visit. She has definitely earned her wings to fly from this earthly place. She graduated from Huntley Project High School in 1941. The family heard many wonderful stories about all the pranks she played along with her lifetime friend Rachel Horton. After high school Hilda worked at the Commercial Club in Billings setting up tables for dinner parties. She met her future husband and soul mate, Johnny, through her brother Alex at a dance. They later married in 1943 and had three girls. Together they built a loving home a bountiful farm and a love of God, music, her teddy bears, and so many adventures along the way. Hilda was a woman of many talents. Not only did she farm right along side of Johnny, but she kept a spotless house and hosted many dinner parties delighting everyone with her wonderful creations that ranged from old German recipe favorites such as Kraut Brioche and Kartoffel and Klasse to many new recipes she was always trying that were passed on and still enjoyed today. She never forgot a neighbor or a friend and always made sure there was a plate of homemade candy waiting for them during the holidays. After 68 years of marriage (and always making sure the other one came first), Johnny departed 13 days before her breaking the bond of holding each other's hand as they slept. She was also preceded in death by her parents, brother Alex Pope, and sisters Esther Krum and Sarah Pope. She is survived by their three daughters, Karen (John) Ring, Cheryl (Tom) Harmon and Darlene (and the late Richard LaFerier); nine grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter. Also surviving Hilda are her sister Helen (Carl) Kembel and brother Jim (Barb) Pope, sister-in-law Joyce Krieger and brother-in-law George Brazer, and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends, and one special dear friend, Lydia Walter. Although Hilda had become fragile in her final days, her strength endurance and legacy lives on in all who knew her. Everyone who was fortunate to be a part of Hilda's life will agree that while Heaven has earned and angel the days here will definitely shine a little less bright and always remember Johnny and Hilda had the life everyone dreamed of. The family would like to thank Rev. Bill Tibbs for all his prayers and many visits and a special thank you to the many family and friends for all the hours of kindness and thoughtful deeds. The family is requesting any memorials be made to Rocky Mountain Hospice or Bethlehem Congregational church in Worden. Funeral service will be 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 21, at Bethlehem Congregational Church in Worden. Interment will follow at Pleasantview Cemetery in Ballantine.
