We are coming together to support the Hilliard family during an unimaginable time of loss. On March 2nd, they suddenly and heartbreakingly lost their beloved wife, mother, and maternal figurehead, Manika. Manika leaves behind her devoted husband, three incredible sons, and a large extended family who cherished her deeply. She was the heart of her home — a steady, loving presence whose strength and compassion shaped the lives of everyone around her. Professionally, Manika dedicated herself to caring for others as a Medical Assistant within the UW Medicine system. She served multiple clinics with kindness, warmth, and unwavering compassion. Patients and colleagues alike knew her as a gentle, dependable soul who brought comfort to families during vulnerable moments. She made a lasting impact through both her work and her spirit. Manika worked tirelessly to provide for her family. Now, we have the opportunity to surround them with the same care and support she so freely gave to others. Funds raised will help ease the burden of funeral expenses and provide stability for her husband and their children in the months and years ahead. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to give financially, please consider sharing this page and keeping the Hilliard family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for helping us honor Manika’s life and legacy by supporting the family she loved so deeply.
