As a child she grew up on the family farm building a passion and love for farming and family. From a young child she was full of spirit and determination, which she carried with her through the years, sharing it with her family.

Germaine was united in marriage to the love of her life, Richard "Dick" Hock on May 30th, 1960, having celebrated 62 years together. They built a family and life on their farm in Isaar having farmed together for 55 years until they retired.

She was a woman of many talents and loved to share them with her family. She believed in hard work and the rewards that came with it, teaching her family about farming, gardening, cooking and canning to just list a few. She enjoyed spending time going to greenhouses in the spring with her daughters, her gardens and flowers always looked amazing. Her favorite flowers were begonias. You could always count on seeing her alongside her son in a tractor at the farm working land or chopping corn or hay. She loved cooking and baking for her family and friends, which everyone enjoyed. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren, how blessed they all where to have her as a grandma. She knew the perfect recipe for a little bit of mischief and a lot of fun, creating lifelong memories.

After retirement if you didn't find her helping out on the farm, you could find her at the cabin. She enjoyed time out on the lake fishing with Dick and the dogs. She especially enjoyed time in her flowers or vegetable gardens. She loved to share her talents with anyone that needed help. After Dick passed away she enjoyed her dinner and lunch dates with her brother Don, family and friends. Germaine also enjoyed many nights watching the Green Bay Gamblers with Dick and friends.
