Huldah was my Bridge partner in York, PA. She loved the game and was always challenging herself to improve. We kept in touch via EM while I traveled and made plans to play more often and "better". In Huldah's last message, dated the day before she died, she said "I will have to improve myself". She was always willing to try new stategies and participated in continuing Bridge lessons. Huldah was a lot of fun to play with. She frequently laughed and enjoyed herself a great deal. I will miss her very, very much.

Not only did I see Huldah at the Maryland Zoo but she took classes at Towson United Methodist church, where I worked, which were sponsored by Essex Community College. She loved those classes as much as she enjoyed the zoo. She and I went on Outreach Programs together to local schools and nursing homes taking animals to educate the public on the importance of conservation. I will miss her smiling face.

I feel lucky to have known Hulda. As a fellow docent at the zoo, I am inspired by her generosity and philanthropy.

Huldah was one of those rare people who only need one name. Think Cher and Elvis. There was only one Huldah. Everyone had a Huldah story or quote. One of my favorites was her comment after reading a less than stellar product. "my cats can write better than that!" She was the only person that I can remember who requested that she be "roasted" as her retirement party. The whole staff of more than 100 people took part in skits and songs poking gentle fun. She loved it and remarked that it was one of the best days of her life. I am sure that she watched the video many times. She had a personality as big as her heart.

I worked for Huldah many years. It was a pleasure to travel and share experiences with her. She will be greatly missed.

Huldah graciously allowed me to think I managed her in her volunteer time at the Zoo. Her frankness was matched by her generosity, and I was extremely fond of her for both. We have missed her since her "retirement" from volunteering, but always looked forward to her visits. I am sincerely sorry that we will not be seeing her again, she will be missed by many.

Thanks again

Huldah was one of my career mentors and it was very gratifying and rewarding to work for her. She was also very gracious and kind to me the several times I saw her after she retired. She was an impressive personality, very dedicated to the Agency's mission, extremely intelligent and very generous.

I was so sorry to hear of Huldah's death. I volunteered with her for many years at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. We led tours, talked with zoo guests and did a number of projects together. Huldah was an amazing woman and very generous in her support of the zoo.

Huldah at the Zoo!

My husband and I enjoyed volunteering with Huldah at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. Huldah was our Tuesday team leader for several years. She always had several good ideas for things to accomplish while we were at the zoo. We have missed working with her the last several years, but we have benefited from the items that she purchased for zoo volunteers - microphones, radios, etc.

I worked closely with Huldah for a number of years and learned so much from her. She was a mentor to me in my career at SSA as well as a caring friend. In the years since she retired, I thought of her often and the lessons I learned from her. I will remember her kindness, quick wit and sense of humor. She was truely one of a kind! My sincere condolences.

I worked with Huldah on the automation of the California DDS in the early 90s. She was a dear person and very demanding at the same time. A person you don't easily forget. She gave much to SSA.

I am shocked by Huldah's sudden death. She was respected and admired by many.I had the pleasure to work for her at SSA for several years and the gratification of becoming her friend after her retirement. I truly loved and appreciated her generous heart, sophistication and brilliant mind and wit. She will be missed.
God Bless,

I remember having an assignment in Baltimore as a Management Intern back in 1988. As an OS from Anchorage, Alaska I was very intimidated by the Senior Executives that I came into contact with, however, I recall Huldah and how nice she treated me. I came to admire and respect her for being a great leader and an even greater individual to know and spend time with.

I worked with Huldah as well in the early 1990s - a definite task-master but a woman with the biggest heart. My friends and I were just talking about her last week and wondering how she was doing. She is and will be fondly remembered. Deepest condolences.

I worked with Huldah for a number of years in several different capacities. She was a lady with high standards and a big heart. I had the highest respect for her she'll always be in my memories as a person I learned from. It's so uncanny, I was just talking about her with my staff yesterday. Please accept my most sincere condolences.
