Hilda Frank Fleischhacker

Hilda Fleischhacker, 92, of Canton, MA formerly of Memphis, Tennessee passed away on December 26, 2023. She was born January 25, 1931, in Eppingen, Germany to Arthur and Bertha (Weingartner) Frank. At the age of 6 her family fled Germany and lived for a few months with cousins in Michigan before settling in Chicago, Illinois.
She married the late Walter Fleischhacker in 1954, and they enjoyed 68 years of marriage until his passing in 2022. They moved to Memphis in 1963. Mrs. Fleischhacker served as a secretary for Beth Sholom Synagogue in Memphis, and later for the Paul Revere Insurance Company. She leaves three children, Michael of Silver Spring, MD, Deborah Wayler (Barry) of Walpole, MA and David (Chany) of Beit Shemesh, Israel and three grandchildren, Leah, Menachem and Yehudit Fleischhacker. She is also survived by her loving brother, Werner Frank, of Thousand Oaks, CA.
In addition to her professional life, Mrs. Fleischhacker enjoyed sewing, needlepoint, mahjong and baking. Her grandchildren were the main beneficiaries of her talents, as she often sewed her granddaughters' dresses and baked for their Bar and Bat Mitzvah kiddushes. She was an active member of Baron Hirsch Congregation for the last 50 years and an active volunteer. Hilda and Walter were honored with the congregation's Member of the Year Award in 2008.
After retiring, Hilda and Walter enjoyed travelling, including several trips to Israel and returning to see their childhood homes in Germany and Switzerland. They also spent much of their time doing volunteer work at Baron Hirsch, the Memphis Jewish Home and the Pink Palace.
Most of all, Hilda loved her family, and was always there to support and assist them. She looked forward to each of their visits and enjoyed taking trips to visit them.
Funeral Services were held on December 29th in the Sam Abraham Chapel with burial at the Baron Hirsch Cemetery. Rabbi Ian Lichter and Cantor Ricky Kampf officiated at the service. The family is grateful for any donations to go to Baron Hirsch Congregation or Friends of the IDF (fidf.org).
