Mary Hildreth Obituary
She was preceded in death by her husband, Jim in 2016, her parents, Kenneth and Miriam Harmsen, her brother, David Harmsen and a sister-in-law, Judith Hildreth.
Mary dedicated her life to her children and grandchildren.

She eventually worked part-time as an administrative assistant in various local companies in the west Michigan area. Family traditions were extremely important to Mary. Mary enjoyed spending time at the cottage in Holland and hosting get togethers for family and friends. She cherished those moments. After moving full-time to the Holland area, Mary attended Calvary Baptist Church.
Mary is survived by her children, Kelly and Scott Dogger of Holland, Brandon and Linda Hildreth of Allendale; 10 grandchildren, Kiersten(Levi) Coatney, Steven Dogger, Tori(Zach) Johnston, Jason Dogger, Cameron Dogger, Brianna Mayo, Grant Hildreth, Hannah Mayo, Marissa Hildreth, Emilee Mayo; in-laws, Sharon and Bob Gilman of Holland and William Hildreth of Hudsonville.
A family graveside service will be held on Monday, May 4, 2020 at Pilgrim Home Cemetery with Dr. Trent Broussard officiating.
