Hilda Nelson Strom

Went to be with her Lord on December 8, 2010. Hilda was born in El Cerrito, CA on May 8, 1913. Immediately following high school, she earned her Registered Nursing degree from San Jose State University. She married her husband of over 50 years, Ewald Strom, on June 24, 1938. They moved to San Jose in 1948 where Ewald continued to work at Westinghouse and farm the family prune ranch. In 1960, they bought a prune ranch in Healdsburg where they lived until Ewald's heavenly home going. While living in Healdsburg, Hilda worked as a registered nurse for many years at Healdsburg Convalescent Hospital. She was a Dry Creek Neighbors' Club member for 45 years and a 50 year member of the Healdsburg Community Church. Hilda is survived by her sons Melvin (Meredith) and Richard (Loni); grandchildren Erik (Laura), Leslie (Joe) and John; great grandchildren Kelsey, Jenna and Bethany Strom and J.T. and Alana Stadum. Her family loved her and will miss her love and prayers more than words can express.
