Hilda was born February 9, 1941, in Gadsden, Alabama. She and Pat moved to Athens in 1963 and have called it home since. Always involved in the community, she served in the Jaycee’s, Beautification Board, Boys and Girls Club among others and was always active in her church. Among family and friends Hilda was known for her shopping, cooking and decorating skills.
The family wishes to express our deepest appreciation to April, Haley and Katelyn who are true angels, and also the 3rd floor nurses and staff at Athens Hospital more compassion could not have been shown.
Always generous Hilda donated her body to Genesis Legacy Program for Medical and Education Research and asked that in lieu of flowers memorials be made to a favorite charity or organization.
