Sigrid Hough, 84, of Las Cruces, NM entered eternal life on October 2, 2012, at home in the presence of her loving family and friends. She was born in Zerbst/Anhalt, Germany on March 17, 1928 to the late Alfred and Meta Wisniewski. She was the younger of two children. Sigrid, a slender blonde German fraulein arrived in America in 1947, as a GI bride. Eight other war brides were among the plane's passengers and because she spoke English well, she was chosen as interpreter for the lot. On September 30, 1947 Sigrid married the love of her life, Harold Hough in Lancaster, Wisconsin. In 1957 they relocated to Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sigrid had many passions in life which were passed down with gentle guidance and patience to her children. Her home was frequently filled with German music and dancing. She was a great cook and enjoyed sharing with those that entered her home as well as the many neighborhood friends. She shared her excellent cooking at "Sigrid's German Restaurant" for a brief time in Las Cruces. She loved to crochet and was taught the art of rug-making from a well-known Hungarian rug weaver at an early age. Also, beginning at an early age in Munich, Germany, Sigrid and her parents raised Pekingese as a hobby. Her love for dogs (and all animals) remained the same the rest of her life. She always had a "peke" by her side. Sigrid is survived by her children, daughter, Etta of Las Cruces, son, Alfred (Freddy) and wife Nila Hough of Siloam Springs, AR and dau...
