Hildegard Pate, age 82, Tampa FL; Loving Wife, Mom and Omi earned her angel wings on November 9th, 2021, after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s. Hilde, born in Germany, married Troy, the love of her life and came with him to the United States to live and raise a family. She was an outgoing, kind, caring & selfless person who was always there to brighten the lives of others with a smile & friendly words for family, friends, and strangers alike. She was the “fun & cool” Mom and Omi, with all her children’s & grandchildren’s friends calling her by those names as well.
Hilde is survived by her husband, Troy Pate; children, Richard, Anita, and Bart; grandchildren, Kyle, Samantha, Kristan and Daphney.
You will be missed and never forgotten. We love you with all our hearts.
A private funeral will be held for immediate family only.
The family requests no flowers, but rather a donation in Hilde’s name to the Alzheimer’s Association would be appreciated. www.alz.org
