Steven M. Hildeman

Steven M. “Steve” Hildeman, 65, Village of Fox Crossing, passed away on October 24, 2017 at his home with his family by his side. He had fought a courageous battle with cancer. Steve was born on March 18, 1952 in Clintonville to Don Hildeman and Clare (Hopkins) Hildeman. He attended Menasha High School. On April 28, 1973 he married the former Renee Ragen at St. Joseph Catholic Church and they enjoyed over 44 years together. Early in his career, Steve was employed with VanEperen Painting and most recently he worked at St. Elizabeth Hospital until his retirement. Steve was a grateful member of A.A. with over 30 years of sobriety. He loved to travel with his wife Renee, and was a very proud father and grandfather. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and could always be counted on to proudly share the pictures he often took. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and playing golf. He was also an avid Packers fan and cribbage player.

He will be sadly missed by: his wife Renee, his son and daughter in law, Chad and Carrie Hildeman and their children Nathan and Brianna, his brother and sister in law, Dave and Becky Hildeman and their son Matthew, his father Don Hildeman and many other relatives and friends.
