In Loving Memory Of
Hildegard and Wolfgang Moller

 

On June 14th Hildegard Maria Moller died peacefully in her sleep after a very brief illness. On July 20th her husband of more than 50 years, Wolfgang Ernst Moller, followed her. Hildy and Wolf had been residents of Kerrville, Texas for many years.

Born in Bietzen, Germany, Hildy immigrated with her family to Canada after WWII. She later moved to San Francisco, California, where in 1958, she fell in love, married Wolf, became a U.S. citizen, and embarked on a life of adventure with her husband. In her youth, she was a striking, red-haired beauty with a matching fiery spirit. She loved literature, beauty, music, and all of the arts and passed this appreciation on to her children. She and Wolf and their three daughters lived all over the world, where they embraced new cultures and collected art. Hildy developed a keen eye for business and after raising her girls she partnered with Wolf in several successful ventures.

Wolf was born in Rugenwalde, Germany and went to work in Switzerland and Chile as a young man. He too, immigrated to San Francisco where he fell in love with and married Hildy. Wolf had a long career in the dairy business that took him all over the world. He was an adventurer and optimist with a lively sense of humor, it seemed like he took many things easier than other people do, because he trusted in himself and his luck. He retired 19 years ago and with Hildy's encouragement decided to fulfill his lifelong dream of creating art and working with his hands. He became a self-taught artist, making western-themed wood wall sculptures assembled from exotic woods. Each piece's design began and ended with the organic, untouched beauty of the natural wood grain and color. His works have been featured in several national magazines: Log Home and Wood, and in Texas, in the Kerrville Daily Times and on TV on San Antonio's KLRN.

Mourning the loss of their parents are Hildy and Wolf's three daughters in Austin: Christina, Sandra and Jessica and their families. Hildy and Wolf are also dearly missed by Hildy's three sisters and brother in Canada: Brigitte, Klotilde, Augusta and Peter and their families, as well as Wolf's two brothers in Germany: Dieter and Achim and their families. The Moller daughters wish to express their heartfelt gratitude to Col. Ed and Mrs. Jane Kennedy in Kerrville, who were special friends and neighbors to Wolf and Hildy and who helped them in so many ways as their health declined.
