Hilda married Eric Lowe in 1968 raising their two children in Wasaga Beach. Hilda was a friendly and familiar face as the proud deli hostess in the downtown Collingwood IGA/Price Chopper/Freshco until she retired in 2013.
Hilda was the backbone and matriarch to her family; she was always there for her children and grandchildren when needed.
Hilda was a strong woman who fought a long and courageous battle with cancer for the past eight years.
Hilda will be cremated, and the family will hold a private service. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that you make donations to a charity of your choice or a local church.
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, we would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. Rest in Peace Mom (Hilda), you will forever be in our hearts.
