Hilde Mock's life was bookended by global historical moments that saw her survive bombing raids in Germany decades before COVID-19 attacked her heart in Winnipeg. Mock died in Parkview Place on Oct. 25, about four days after testing positive for COVID-19. In her obit, Mock's family said she was the 55th victim of the virus in Manitoba. The rest of Mock's family was free in West Germany but her mother worked three jobs to feed them. Though flanked by heartache, her life teemed with generosity, loyalty and a fierce love for family and friends, Pope said.
