Anna was born Oct. 4, 1911 at Lexington to Adolph and Henny (Seehusen) 
Rickertsen.  Anne attended Lexington High School where she graduated in 1929.

On Feb. 25, 1934, she married Roy Hilton at Lexington.  Their union was 
blessed with six children, Barbara, Dorthy, Carolyn Delores, Bob and Dan.  The 
couple farmed in the rural Lexington and Cozad areas until 1955, when they 
moved to Elwood.  While in Elwood, they owned and operated the Corner Café and 
Creamery until 1962.  It was at this point that Anna and Roy began work with 
the Elwood Public School System in maintenance.  In 1985, Anna retired after 
over 20 years of service.

She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Elwood where she was 
active with the United Methodist Women.  Anna was also a dedicated volunteer 
with the National Kidney Foundation.  She had also served as a 4-H leader in 
Dawson County for many years.

Anna enjoyed quilting, crocheting and embroidery.  She was an excellent cook, 
and would always make big family dinners on Sundays.  Her most valued and 
cherished times were spent with family, especially her grandchildren.

Survivors include her three daughters, Barbara (Bob) Taylor of Springdale, 
Ark., Dorthy (Harold) Henry of Cozad, Carolyn (Jerry) Brown of Doniphan; two 
sons, Bob (Jane) Hilton of Elwood, Dan Hilton of Mesa, Ariz.; two sisters, 
Frida Cline of Gothenburg, Betty (Roy) Clark of Lexington; brother, Bill 
(Lucille) Rickertsen of Gothenburg; 18 grandchildren; 41 great grandchildren 
with one on the way; 12 great-great grandchildren with two on the way; and a 
host of other relatives and friends.

Anna was preceded in death by her husband, Roy in 1996; daughter, Delores 
Stoll; son-in-law Maynard Stoll; two grandsons, David Taylor and Tom Petersen; 
one sister and three brothers.
