      Twila Earline Hildebrandt

      Twila E. Hildebrandt, 61, Bonduel, went home to be with her Lord Thursday,
      June 5, 2008, at Pine Manor Health Center, Embarrass after a courageous battle
      with cancer. Born Jan. 12, 1947, in Lewistown, Mont., she was the daughter of
      Viola (Melz) Bassett and the late Earl Bassett. After graduating from Grass
      Range High School in Montana in 1965, Twila went on to graduate from the
      University of Montana at Bozeman. She then worked for seven years at Normal

      Church, Bonduel and was active with the Ladies Aid. She was also a past 4-H
