MAY 3, 1912 - AUGUST 23, 2013 Hilda Graetz Rush departed the earthly realm on August 23, 2013 at 101 years of age. She died peacefully in her sleep, just as she had wished. Hers was a life both long and fully lived. She is survived by her family of choice: Atma Wiseman, Joy Silver, Saroj Baxter, the Zeng family, nephew Robby Graetz of Argentina, and many admiring friends. Hilda was active in politics, the Santa Fe Unitarian Universalist congregation, attended HaMakom and volunteered for Kitchen Angels, well into her nineties. She adored music and could be spotted at the opera frequently. Her love of the natural world included birdwatching, wildlife preservation, orchid cultivation, and photography. Born on May 3, 1912 in Berlin, Hilda Graetz Rush’s life read like a travelogue: Germany, Switzerland, London, Johannesburg, Copenhagen, New York, Buenos Aires, Sanibel Island, Santa Fe, and Rancho Mirage. But a travelogue it was not. Losing her mother at thirteen to illness, her father Robert Graetz was charged with her care. By 1935, Berlin Germany became extremely dangerous for Jews. Seeing the Nazi writing on the wall, Robert Graetz made arrangements to safely expatriate his two children Hellmut and Hilda. Hellmut traveled to Argentina and 23 year old Hilda sailed off to live with distant cousins in South Africa. She was drawn to the desert southwest and moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, her home for 21 years. It was in Santa Fe where Hilda met Joy Silver and Atma Wiseman. “I fell in love with both of them and they became dear friends.” When the couple moved to Rancho Mirage, CA, Hilda was happy to be included in the move west. Hilda and her Burmese cat enjoyed the desert warmth in Rancho Mirage CA, these past two years and she thrived in an environment of love and care until her passing. She was a legend to all who knew her, and many can quote her unabashed commentary on life, politics, and modern trends. She will be deeply missed by those who appreciated her for the direct honesty and sharp wit she possessed. Donations in Hilda’s memory may be made to Kitchen Angels of Santa Fe, Santa Fe PFLAG Scholarship Fund, Southern Poverty Law Center, and the ASPCA. Burial was private per her wishes. A memorial is planned in Santa Fe, NM at a future date.
