Hilda was born Dec. 17, 1945, in Gubat, Sorsogon, Philippines, the daughter of Protacio and Victoriana (Ergina) Duma. She was united in marriage to Arnold Brawner on June 16, 1981, in Manila, Philippines.

Hilda was a loving wife, supportive mom, playful grandmother, and true friend. She spent many years working on projects, big and small, with Arnold. You could find her out on the farm growing flowers, picking apples, and harvesting an abundance of vegetables she was eager to share. Her eggrolls were a favorite and she was always up for a game of BINGO. We take comfort in the laughter, love, and faith she
shared with us. May we always remember her kind heart, generous spirit, and beautiful smile.

Hilda is survived by her daughter, Victoria (Matthew) Schleier; stepchildren, Mikl (Eve Reshetnik) Brawner, Kathleen (Jonathan) Worcester, Dan (Laura Rigal) Brawner, and Pres (Jo Schon) Brawner; grandchildren; and two siblings in the Philippines.

Hilda was preceded in death by her parents, husband, one grandson, and three siblings.
