Hilda Dupre

A memorial service will be held in Hilda's honor Monday, April 27th, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in Johnson's Funeral Home Chapel in San Angelo, Texas.

Hilda was born March 29, 1954 in Winters, Texas as the first child of Kenneth and Freda Kruse. She was raised in Big Lake, Texas. Hilda graduated from Reagan County High School in 1972. She attended Kilgore Junior College to pursue a dream of becoming a Kilgore Rangerette. She later attended Southwest Texas State and business school.

As a young lady, Hilda worked for Lubbock Lumber Company. She spent most of her career as an owner operator of package stores in Big Lake and Grape Creek, Texas. She loved her customers like family and was the type of person who never met a stranger.

Hilda was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by loving husband Randall Dupre of San Angelo, step sons Randy Dupre (Tonya) of San Angelo, and Rocky Dupre (Jenny) of San Angelo. Her precious grandchildren are Addison and Ella Dupre, Jason Watson (Shelby), Brett and Dawson Dupre, and one great grandchild, Owen Watson.

Hilda is also survived by her sister Martha Bridges (Mike) of Elgin, Texas, sister Brenda Iskra of Marathon, Texas, and brother Dennis Kruse (Vickie) of Lubbock and Midland, Texas. She leaves behind adoring nephews Zac Iskra of Midland, John Bridges of Austin, and nieces Reagan Kruse and Brynn Kruse of Lubbock. Hilda doted on the nieces and nephews and rarely missed important events in their lives.

She also leaves an uncle Donald Kruse of Winters and aunt Bo Dean Kruse of Kingsville, as well as numerous cousins and other family members and friends to cherish her memory.

Hilda was a lifelong Lutheran and a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church in San Angelo.

Honorary Pallbearers will be Gina Hickman Brooks, Kathy Webb, Jeannine Tarvin, Dee Kruse, Terry Kruse and Brad Kruse.
