Hilde's talents were many, she was an accomplished skier (member of the Ramapo and the German Ski Club), fluent in German, volunteering at the German Language School of Westwood cofounded by her parents. She was a sailor who crewed at The Nyack Yacht club, an outdoor enthusiast (spending summers hiking, and camping), and a certified lifeguard.

Hilde will be remembered most for her kind and forgiving soul.

She gave everything and expected nothing in return.

I am so sorry to hear of Hilda's passing. My deepest condolences go out to her family, Walter, Harold, Paul, Lore and her grandchildren. Hilda and I went back to childhood and shared many memories -- from the Bergwald, parties, get togethers, etc. She embraced nature, loved flowers, and any outdoor activity. She was always there for anyone that needed her, or her help, with "no strings attached". She will be dearly missed by all.
