Elizabeth Rieber Hillenbrand, 75, of Evansville passed away Friday, June 7, 2019 at Linda E. White Hospice House after a 5 ½ year struggle with breast cancer. Betty was born October 7, 1943 in Evansville to the late Julius and Louise (French) Rieber.
Betty was a 1961 graduate of Mater Dei High School. She was employed for 38 years at D. Patrick, starting out as a Title Clerk, then became Office Manager at the downtown facility, then transferring to the eastside office as Payroll Manager. She lived and breathed D. Patrick. She was a quiet, unassuming lady but very strong in her convictions and her faith. Betty and David were members of St. Benedict Cathedral and also attended St. John’s Church Daylight for the last fifteen years after building a home in the Blue Grass area.
