Bio

Thiebe Alena Oltmans was born near Platte Center, Nebraska, the eldest of three daughters of Oltman D. and Altjen (Johnson) Oltmans. She married Frank J. Hilmer Feb. 24, 1914, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Columbus. She was a homemaker and lived in Platte County all her life until moving to the Country View Care Village in Genoa in her later years. She and Frank were the parents of six sons (Edward Diedrich, Harvey Vernon, Clarence Arno, Jacob, Kenneth Frank and Norman Allen). Jacob died in infancy and their eldest son died at the young age of 31 in a house fire. They also had three daughters (Sadie Marie, Velma "Elsie" and Pearl Ruby). She was survived by one sister (Katherine Schultz), 19 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and 14 great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, sister (Frieda Oltmans), two sons, two granddaughters (Linda Hilmer and Florence Staub), and one great grandson (Robert Harris, Jr.). Grandma Hilmer made the best cinnamon rolls in all the world and was a very hard working and resourceful person, able to make something out of nothing.
