Notes:
What is not entered in Tillie’s obituary, was that in 1966, Tillie passed her real estate salesman examination, and associated with Harold H Hueffmeier Real Estate business. In 1980, Tillie made herself available at the Green Lantern senior center in her community to aid individuals in applying for the “circuit-breaker” tax relief program, even offering to make home visits, 5 days a week.
She was an amazing homemaker. Tillie was a kitchen queen, her meals were composed of splendid, flavor-filled foods, whether savory or sweet. She was a gardener extraordinaire, those abilities matched only by her canning and preserving skills—not just edibles, but flowers as well. She was a skilled and prolific seamstress, her “bespoke” tailoring unmatched. Her quilts hummed with color and intricate patterns.
Tillie was a font of information about all things antique, which was associated with her work in the historical society. She enjoyed going to farm sales and antique shops, and once said that her dream job would have been to be a “picker”.
And she was generous—giving not only to family, her church and community, but to others, once having a spare bedroom loaned out for a month to a young woman while she sought her first job after graduating college.
Tillie graced us with her quiet presence, making all feel warm and welcomed into her life and home. She is honored here.
