Hilda was a beautiful woman who loved to live life to the fullest. She was born in Germany and learned to speak fluent Hungarian from her father who escaped Hungary to be in the United States. When Hilda was young, she was a model and went to modeling school for several years. She also wrote a book that a publishing company took interest in and flew her to New York. In Hilda's spare time, she enjoyed shopping, dancing, enjoyed all genres of music, cooked delicious meals, and spent much of her time in the garden by flexing her green thumb. As per her modeling talent, she loved fashion and her personality was just as beautiful as she was. Hilda would do anything to help someone in need and always looked out for her family, especially her two beautiful daughters. She will be missed greatly by her many friends in the community and her loving family.
