Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Hilda was very entertaining to say the least! I enjoyed all her stories and listening to her play the piano. Love and prayers to Robin and family.

The memories from watching her playing the piano are many. I can’t begin to start.
She, like Helen and Mama, tolerated a passel of rug rats for sure. All three of these ladies never knew what we children were doing once out of their sight.
She was blessed with a perseverance that proved to be a great help to Wallace and the life they built together. A Christian with a strong faith, coupled with the same found in Wallace, lead their children to follow in their footsteps.

I loved my aunt all my life. I spent many summers staying at her house and playing with her girls. She treated me just like her own. The four sisters would visit each other and always made sure that the cousins saw each other almost every other weekend. All six children are reunited with their parents!! What a beautiful reunion!!

Our most sincere condolences. Mrs. Hilda always kept me laughing with her sharp wit and frankness. I nicknamed her “Hoot” when I was at Terra Ceia because she was an absolute hoot to be around. Prayers of comfort for all of her family.
