Bennie loved to cook for friends and to hunt deer. The family noted that he knew most of his cattle by name. He was never known to complain about too much rain, and if it did rain too much, he would say, "Isn't it wonderful?" You never met a man who loved to drive in a pickup as much as Bennie Wilde, nor a man who enjoyed a cup of keg beer the way he did. He also enjoyed trips to Germany and Mexico with his wife and family.
He was preceded in death by three sisters, Mary Wilde, Stella Schwartz, and Cora Dierschke, and brothers, Elo Wilde, Fenton Wilde, and Ed Wilde. Bennie is survived by his wife, Alice; his children, Judy Appelt and husband, Larry, of Hallettsville; Fred Wilde and wife, Debra, of Ballinger; Ann Nobles and husband, Nickie, of Katemcy; Karla Wilde and Joe Wilde both of San Angelo. Also surviving are grandchildren, Derek, Kelli, and Scott Appelt; Brooke, Clint, and Gina Wilde; and Frances Nobles; sisters-in-law, Velma Wilde of Rowena, Cordula Wilde of Wall, Mary Moeller of Ballinger; and brother-in-law, Roman Multer of Rowena.
Rosary will be recited Thursday, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m. at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Olfen. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday, Oct. 3, at 10 a.m. at St. Boniface Church with Msgr. Benedict Zientek and Fr. Bhaskar Morugudi officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. Grandchildren will serve as pallbearers along with Harvey Wilde and Charles Moeller. Honorary pallbearers will be Olfen Knights of Columbus. The family would like to thank Dr. Denver Marsh, Dr. Coughlin, Dr. Westmoreland, and all the medical staff and friends who helped and cared for Bennie.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials be made to St. Boniface Cemetery Fund or the American Heart Association. Services are under the direction of Lange Funeral Home of Ballinger.
