Hilda was a devoted wife. She and Allen married September 27, 1992 and enjoyed all their years together. Hilda was a loving mother. She adored her kids; those born to her and those added to her. And her grandchildren were her treasures.  Hilda was a dear friend. She was always there to listen or talk. Though she was small in stature, she was grand in personality and heart. Laughter surrounded her. She was fierce in her love and devotion. She is deeply missed.
