Rita and Larry supported Hildegard through the years. She will also be missed by her long time friends Bill and Mary. Hildegard is survived by her son Frank Wasala who resides in Burnaby, B.C. and her daughter Kristina Wasala who resides in Germany.

As per Hildegard's request, cremation has taken place and there will be no service. A private interment will take place in Riverside Cemetery at a later date, when she will be laid to rest beside her loving husband John. If friends so desire donations may be made to a charity of their choice.


Arrangements have been entrusted to Simpler Times Cremation Centre, 332 North May Street, Thunder Bay.


Hildegard is happy to be dancing with her husband John in heaven.
