Angeline Hillman

Angeline Hillman was born July 14, 1924, and grew up with five sisters and two brothers. Best known as Angie or Ange, she grew up on Buffalo’s east side with many good friends who she stayed connected with well into her 90’s. She spent many Saturday nights talking to her childhood friend, Marge, for hours. Married in 1948 to Harry ‘Bud’ Hillman at Sacred Heart Church, they continued to live on the East Side and start a family before moving to North Buffalo, where she would live for over 60 years. She was regularly active in her church and was a member of the Third Order of St Francis. Having worked all her adult life, she was so happy when it was time to retire so she could stay home and take care of her house and gardens and visit with her neighbors, cutting the grass and clearing the snow until her mid 80’s. Their family included a son and daughter and expanded with their families, including four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Her great grandchildren so loved their Gigi. She also had many nieces and nephews that she kept in touch with. Her and Bud always loved entertaining family and friends, cooking and feeding everyone – which sometimes included late nights of various card games. So many Thanksgivings and Christmases were shared with an abundance of food, drink and laughter. Over the years they did a good amount of traveling, visiting family or exploring new places. She was very good at calling everyone to talk and see what was going on in their lives. She also kept in touch with her great grandchildren by sending them notes to see how they were and telling them things she was doing. This also extended to generations of nieces and nephews. As she got older one of her goals was to live to 100 years of age. She surpassed her goal at 100 years and 7 months. Visitation will be Sunday March 9, 2025 from 3 to 7 PM at the Wattengel Funeral Home, 533 Meadow Drive in North Tonawanda. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday March 10, 2025 at St. Paul's R.C. Church, 33 Victoria Blvd in Kenmore at 10 AM ( Please assemble at church). Burial will be in St. Matthew's Cemetery.
