Hildegard “Hilda” Shumpert was called to her heavenly home by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the age of 87.

She was also preceded in death by her husband: Donald R. Shumpert; her first husband and the father of her children: Albert C. Bianco; also, a brother Rudolf Hoffmann and stepmother Anna Frank Hoffmann.

Hilda was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her faith was very important to her, and she was active in church and had a generous spirit.

She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends both in the United States and Germany. She was an entrepreneur and owned and operated a restaurant (College Corner in Columbia, SC). She enjoyed sewing, gardening, and anything chocolate. She was never too busy for a game of Yahtzee, sudoku, or Skip-Bo. She loved living in the United States but never forgot her German heritage.
