Fay L. Hildebrandt, 86, of Summerdale went home to be with the Lord on March 11, 2014. She was one of four children of the late George and Ruth Moore. Fay was also the widow of her high school sweetheart, Dale J. Hildebrandt.
Fay is survived by her loving and devoted daughter Cathy H. Mabius, son-in-law, Bill Mabius, sister, Jean Moore Wagner, brother and sister-in-law, Donald and Patricia Moore, along with nieces, nephews, and good friends. Her late brother Kenneth Moore preceded her in death.
Fay was an avid and experienced equestrian for the majority of her life, traveling the country to participate in numerous regional and national horse shows. Beyond horses, she always had numerous household pets all her life, many of which were strays or rescued from shelters. Fay loved and enjoyed all of God’s wonderful creatures and nature in general. Unlike most, Fay knew how to stop and smell the roses. She enjoyed the change of seasons, flowers, crossword puzzles, reading–particularly history and mystery books, watching cooking shows and birds at her feeders, caring for animals, taking frequent trips to her cabin and the western US, and conversing with family and friends.
Funeral and burial services were private and at the convenience of the family.
Memorial contributions in Fay’s memory can be made to Hospice of Central Pennsylvania.
The Sullivan Funeral Home is honored to serve the Hildebrandt family.
