She was born on July 21, 1944, to Melvin and Evelyn (Gyland) Hubred. Barb grew up on the family farm and always resided in the Deerfield area. She married Douglas Hildreth in 1980. Barb was a bookkeeper for several businesses, including co-owning Doug’s Tire Service with her husband. Her greatest pride and joy were her children and grandchildren.

She was a wonderful and caring daughter, mother, wife and grandmother, as well as a generous and thoughtful friend. She was preceded in death by her father, Melvin Hubred Sr., several aunts, uncles and other relatives.

If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven Lord,
please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother’s arms
and tell her they’re from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there’s an ache within my heart
that will never go away.
