Hilda Demming 1935-2014

Hilda Demming, born on May 31, 1935, went with the Lord on March 24, 2014 in San Antonio, Texas at the age of 78.

Born in Mexico, Hilda is survived by her loving daughter Adrienne Demming, as well as her sons Ray Demming and Edwin Demming. She is also survived by four grandchildren.

Among the countless of her benevolent attributes, Hilda was simply known for her immense generosity. Throughout her long-lived life, Hilda gracefully donated land to churches, as well as to the Texas Migrant Council. She was prestigiously known for being the first person to sell real estate in Chula Vista. Hilda will also be remembered for feeding prisoners during holidays, and helping struggling families to start their homes. She was known to be a religious woman who practiced her beliefs in God, yet never preached them. Besides her abundant and resonant acts of kindness, Hilda was known for her great passion for writing. She spent her time composing music and writing poetry, and even has songs that have been copyrighted under her name. Hilda’s optimism was always perceivable; she never gave up on life, even through the most difficult situations. Beyond all her great accomplishments in life, however, Hilda was ultimately known for her great love for her family. She cared for them and cherished them until her final days.

Hilda’s viewing took place on Sunday, March 23, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Her Rosary was held on the same day at 7:30 p.m. Service was held on Monday, March 24, 2014 at San Andres Apostol Church in Nava, Coahuila at 11 a.m. She was laid to rest at the Municipal Cemetery of Nava. Arrangements were made under the great care and direction of Memorial Funeral Chapels and Funerales Socorro.

At this time, we would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and support for the Demming family, as well as for everyone who was close to Hilda.
