In 1969, DeeDee married Wolfgang Hillinger and together they had 11 children. DeeDee was dedicated to her family in all ways, and homeschooled many of her children for several years. She was a committed runner, and ran several marathons, including Chicago and Milwaukee, well into her mid-60s. Throughout her life, DeeDee, a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, was incredibly selfless and giving, helping anyone who was in need, and always putting others first. She loved serving others, and was active in supporting both local and global missions, leading youth groups, and serving in children’s ministry. DeeDee was beautiful soul and gifted in many ways.
