Hilda Rose (Goebel) Green passed away, peacefully, in her sleep, on December 24th, Christmas Eve, 2025, at the age of 97, in Glendale Arizona.
Hilda was born June, 13th, 1928, as Hilda Rose Goebel, in Edgerton, Ohio, as the fourth youngest child out of twelve children, to Norbert and Victoria Goebel.
Always a bright and competitive student, she also enjoyed playing the violin, cello and piano. She attended her first two years of high school at St. Francis Convent in Tiffin, Ohio. Afterwards, she completed high school at the public high school in Edgerton and graduated in 1947.
She married Richard Martin Mosca of Bryan, Ohio, and while they lived in different areas of Ohio, (Columbus, Dayton and Bowling Green) and a brief time in Buchanan Michigan, she gave birth to five sons and one daughter; Kennith, Karl, Janice, Kurt, Kent and Keith. The family also lived, briefly, in California and Virginia, before finally settling in the Phoenix Arizona area, in 1963.
Hilda and Richard divorced in 1973, and she married Harry William Green, in 1974. They would own and operate several, different, restaurant businesses, in the Phoenix Arizona area. They moved back to Edgerton Ohio, for a brief time, and then returned to Phoenix Arizona.
She had an incredible, witty sense of humor, a perpetual zest for life, enormous heart of gold and a lifelong, everlasting faith in God, and the Catholic church. Foremost, she was a mother, wife, sister, friend who lived a long, unyielding, resilient and wonderful life…. always praying, helping, nurturing and loving us all!
