  • Full Obituary

    Patricia “Pat” L. Hilderbrand, 75, of Collinsville, IL, passed away Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at her home in Collinsville, IL.

    She was born on August 23, 1949, in East St. Louis, IL to Floyd and Louise (nee Cattani) Scott.

    Pat was known for her remarkable talent as a seamstress, a gift she poured into countless creations and repairs over the years. Whether stitching a garment from scratch or mending a beloved item for a friend, Pat’s hands brought new life to everything she touched. She loved nothing more than to create and mend clothing, sharing her talents selflessly with friends, family, and neighbors.

    In her quieter moments, Pat found joy in reading and was especially fond of watching biographical films that captured the glamour and intrigue of Old Hollywood.

    Above all, Pat adored her family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and the foundation upon which her family built their lives. Known as a gentle, caring matriarch, she relished time spent with her loved ones, sharing wisdom, laughter, and, of course, love. Her children and great-grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she loved to dote on them, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness that will continue to shine through them.

    She was preceded in death by her parents, Floyd and Louise Scott.

    Pat is survived by her children, Chris (Pamela) Hilderbrand, Greg (Michelle) Hilderbrand, Teresa Hilderbrand; grandchildren, Jessica, Eric, Gregory, Dillon, Whitney (Dalton) Honnies; great-grandchildren, Louelle, Shelby, Owen, Matthew, Grady; and many loving friends.

    I have been the afternoon dispatcher for the Collinsville Senior Shuttle for over six years. Pat was a regular rider and over the years we became friends. Her kindness and concern were much appreciated. She held a special place in my heart. I will miss her very much.
