Hildred was born on November 25, 1930, in Orange City, the daughter of Herbert and Jessie (Kroeze) Huisman. She was raised in rural Orange City and graduated from the Newkirk Consolidated School.

On November 20, 1951, she was united in marriage to Harvey Pluim, in Orange City, where they made their home and raised their four children. Harvey and “Hilly” established Pluim Publishing and Northwest Realty, both in Orange City. Harvey passed away suddenly on September 15, 1982, after more than 30 years of marriage.

Vande Berg were married on June 12, 1986, in Orange City, where they continued to make their home. “Morry” passed away on August 24, 2017, in Orange City, after more than 31 years of marriage. Shortly after Morry’s death Hilly became a resident of the Landsmeer Ridge Retirement Community in Orange City. Earlier this year, she moved to the Prairie Ridge Care Center.

Hilly was a member of the First Christian Reformed Church in Orange City. She enjoyed playing card games (which she was very competitive), reading, and in her younger years, bowling.
