ASHLAND – Hildegard Popovich, 73, longtime resident of Ashland, passed away suddenly on October 20, 2022.

She was the daughter of Hildegard and Donald McCormack.

She is survived by her loving husband of 50 years Frederick Popovich, her three children, Frederick Popovich, David Popovich and his wife Andrea, and Alexis Brunsell and her husband Jeffrey Brunsell.

Hildegard (Kelly) was a longtime secretary at Ashland High School, and loved every student she encountered. After her retirement from Ashland Public Schools, she ran her husband’s company F.M. Popovich & Sons.  She later took on a new role as Grammy and Meme to her eight grandchildren, Kevin Popovich, Kayla Popovich, Marina Popovich, Alek Popovich, Joseph Brunsell, Allyson Brunsell, Samantha Brunsell, and Danielle Brunsell.

She was most often found bringing them shopping for their birthdays, out to lunches, on the athletic fields, at a dance recital, robotics competitions, theater productions, or welcoming them all to her backyard pool during the summer.  She will be missed by everyone who knew her.  

Services will be private.         

Arrangements by Matarese Funeral Home in Ashland.
