Ted Hilbrands Obituary

Hilbrands, Ted B.
69, of Gilbert, AZ, entered heaven on January 20, 2011, after a lifetime of love, laughter and adventure. He is survived and forever remembered by his loving wife of 48 years Sylvia Imperial, daughter Audrey (Rob) Williams, sons Scott (Pamm), and John (Andrea) Hilbrands, grandchildren Brooke, Chelsea, Scott, Ian, Ashlyn, Carter, Victoria and Vincent, brothers John F., Arie J., sisters Mary, Carol, Myrtle, Ellen, Wilma & Heidi, as well as numerous nieces & nephews. The family requests that donations be sent to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower, Phx, AZ 85006 or St. Vincent de Paul Charity Dining Room, Phx, AZ. His love, laughter & unremarkable kindness touched the lives of many, and we were blessed to have him as a part of our lives.
