Allison Mae Ninabuck

Allison Mae Ninabuck, age 38, of Greenleaf, passed away on July 22, 2024. The daughter of Samuel and Jane Hilgemann was born June 17, 1986 in Marshfield, Wisconsin. She graduated from West De Pere High School and then St. Norbert College, where she studied history and literature, furthering her passion for reading, her curiosity, and her sense of adventure. It was in college that she met the love of her life, Stuart Ninabuck. They married on June 14, 2008 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in De Pere. Allie was a cherished wife and loving mother; her family was her biggest priority and greatest joy in life. Allie and Stu raised four beautiful children who will always remember her for her strength, kindness, and bravery.

An avid crafter, Allie found a way to channel her love and creativity into homemade gifts and unique items, ranging from crochet blankets to feather hairpieces to candles and soaps. A passionate animal lover, Allie built her own beautiful hobby farm, rescuing animals and providing a safe haven for pigeons, geese, turkeys, sheep, chickens, and bunnies – a love that has passed on to her children. 

Allie’s other joys included traveling with her family to DisneyWorld, fishing with her children, curling up with a good book, delving into the lore of video games, and creating her own delicious recipes. 

Surviving Allie are her husband, Stuart, children: Briggs, Gordon, Forrest and Lyra; parents: Sam and Jane Hilgemann; siblings: Brice (Lindsey) Hilgemann and their children: Emerson and Quinn, Tyler (Emily) Hilgemann and their children: Kinsley and Xander; brother-in-law: Atticus (Melanie) and their children: Mallory, Cassius, and Alma; father-in-law and mother-in-law: Scott and Kim Ninabuck; special aunt Annie Hilgemann, as well as other family and friends. 

Family and friends may visit at the Cotter Family Gathering Center, 518 Meadow Lane, Wrightstown, on Thursday, July 25, from 10:00 am to 12:30 p.m., with a blessing at 11:30 am by Fr. James Neilson, O.Praem. A celebration of life will follow at Greenleaf Fireman’s Park, 1588 Fair Road, Greenleaf.
