Hege graduated from Lewisville High School, then attended Forsyth Technical Community College for nursing, which she truly loved. She spent 30 wonderful years at Forsyth Medical Center in the newborn baby department and loved every minute of it. She was a loving mother, companion, friend, and was always smiling and laughing about some of the silliest things. Her imagination and sense of humor made her fun to be around, interesting as well. Her cats were her other children and she loved them so much. Every plant, animal, fish and bird she loved dearly because it had a life and deserved to be loved. Her lake house was her get away, and she loved all the flowers that were planted over the years and couldn’t wait to see what was blooming on each trip. She was a true friend and if you were troubled, she tried to comfort you in any way she could. A true caretaker and loving spirit, she will be greatly missed by so many.
