Margaret Reiss Hesselbrock “Billie” age 95 of Phoenix, Arizona formerly of Upper Montclair, NJ died Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Her passing took place quietly and peacefully at Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living in Phoenix.
She was born in Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania where she lived her formative years. Margaret received her formal education at Temple University in Philadelphia. She met a handsome fellow by the name of Louis Hesselbrock and they married at the Valley Forge Chapel. After her marriage, she moved to Upper Montclair, NJ with her husband Louis “Bud” Hesselbrock and after his passing she moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where she has lived for the past ten years.
She was always proud of her strong German heritage. Her ancestors came to America in the 1880’s and she was always appreciative of being able to live her life in America.
While living in New Jersey, Margaret was a member of the Union Congregational Church in Upper Montclair.
She was a very loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Her son recalls her wonderful ways as a mother, nurturing him even in adulthood. One of her favorite things was telling stories about Hesselbrock family life at every stage of their life’s journey.
Billie had a soft spot in her heart for all animals and she very much enjoyed feeding the wild birds. She also shared pets with her son Donald, and her cat “Treasure” brought her much joy of companionship.
Surviving to mourn her as she travels now the silent way are one son Donald R. Hesselbrock of Scottsdale, Arizona; her grandson Bradley W. Hesselbrock and his wife Audrey of Boston, Massachusetts and her granddaughter Lisa A. Gappa and her husband Chad of Scottsdale, Arizona.
