Hilda was born on April 29, 1918, the youngest of 11 children born to Ferdinand and Kathrina (Faul) Heizelmann on a farm southwest of Velva, ND. She accepted Christ at the age of 10 through the evangelistic ministry of John Siemens. She was baptized as a teen and joined the Sawyer Mennonite Brethren Church. Hilda served her Lord and Savior by teaching Sunday School, singing in the choir, and participating in Women's Missionary Society.

On June 27, 1943, she was married to Leander Faul and moved to Harvey, ND. They had three children, Kathleen, Shirley and Naomi. Hilda and Leander never lived in a house that could not be remodeled. Hilda knocked down many a wall over the years, as well as helping put up new ones. Their final accomplishment was the building of their home south of Harvey in 1977. Over the years, they had company from far and near who were always welcome. She was a loving wife and mother known for her great cooking and baking abilities as well as being an accomplished seamstress and craftswoman.

She is survived by her three daughters, Kathleen Herbel of Hays, KS; Shirley & Don Unrau of Omaha, NE; and Naomi Faul of Bismarck, ND. She also leaves three grandchildren, Jon and Robin Herbel, Justin and Gretchen Unrau, and Ryan and Stacie Unrau; and great grandchildren, Charlie Herbel, Cameron Unrau and Chara Unrau; as well as many nieces and nephews.
