What a great pleasure to have known Hilda who had such a very quiet and caring ,loving way about her enough to help a blind lady back to her room after recieving medications and meals when she did not feel “up to par” herself at evergreen estates ret comm .While being her nurse yes she was one of my favorite residents.May God now comfort this family at this time.

I met Hilda when we moved to Manor Ave. in the 1980s. What a delightful lady. It was a pleasure to know her. I always enjoyed the flowers on the Heisey property and going to the Dairy for mild and ice cream.
Audrey, you did my hair at Billie Jeans for many years. I still go there.
May God bless and comfort you.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Heisey Family during this time of loss. It was a great pleasure knowing Mrs. Heisey during my younger years (Lori) as we were neighbors. Hilda was so sweet and caring person and will be missed. I (Lori) used to walk behind our house and around the alley to get (sneaking to get ice cream..lol) ice cream with a handful of money when I was about 3 or 4 yrs old. God Bless, Lori

I HAVE FOUND MEMORIES OF PLAYING ON THE FARM AND SNITCHING CHOCOLATE MILK FROM THE DAIRY REFRIGERATOR WITH THE BOYS IN THE HOT SUMMER DAYS WAY BACK IN THE OLD DAYS. MRS. HEISEY WAS A WONDERFUL NEIGHBOR AND A FRIEND OF OUR FAMILY. SHE WAS A GOOD PERSON AND WILL BE MISSED!
