Elise Sellmann Hilbert

Sadly, I was not aware of Elise's passing until now. Although we were brought together by a brief work assignment for AT&T in 1981 in New Jersey, we became friends and kept in touch for years. Elise and I shared so many interests and I still remember her wit and sense of humor! Unfortunately, we lost touch after Katrina, something I truly regret! Elise, you were a blessing in my life and I truly am sorry our paths diverged and I was unable to locate you again. The last time we spoke you...

My condolences to David and the family. I have many fond memories of 'Mrs. Hilbert', who was a great mother for her sons. As Dave's friend, I was always made to feel welcome in their home when I was growing up. She even included me on some shopping trips for school clothes! She was well read and very intelligent, and challenged me to read classic literature, for which I am grateful. I recall her love of classical music, and it was always a treat to converse with her about history and current...

Bay St Louis, Mississippi. March 14, 2022. A wonderful to place to be.

I worked closely with Elise when she was President of Hancock Country Republican Women as well as a personal relationship. She was one of the sweetest and dearest person I have ever known. She remains alive in my memories.

My deepest condolences John, Brun and David. Getting to spend time with your beautifully kind and intelligent mother in these later years of my life was a blessing to me I will hold in my heart.

David and all of the Hilbert family, I am sorry for your loss. There are no words that can comfort you. All I can express is to hold onto all of the precious memories that Ms. Elise have provided all of you.

Thank you John for telling me this obituary was available online so that I could read about this wonderful woman. I am sorry that I never got to meet her and I am so grateful to her for giving me an amazing friend and mentor to guide me in my professional life. She is/was the reason that I have you in my life and for that I will be always indebted to her.

My condolences to John and his family may your mother rest peacefully in heaven.
