Hilda was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Some of her favorite pastimes were knitting blankets, painting ceramics, going to yard sales, and collecting elephants to add to her amazing collection. She especially enjoyed watching and supporting her grandchildren and great-grandchildren at all their activities and events. She was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan as well as a Chicago Cubs fan. She will most fondly be remembered for her cooking every meal prepared with her tender and loving hands which came through in dish. Her homemade tortillas often caused a friendly dispute amongst her children and grandchildren as to whom they were made for.
