I’m 22 years old and in college now. She was my 3rd grade teacher at Sierra Vista and is someone I’ll never forget. I admired her at such a young age and appreciated her kindness and compassion towards me.

I taught next door to Hilda at Sierra Vista and got to know her when we were both there on the weekends working in our classrooms.  She had a full classroom with all the supplies and copies and her door was always open for a visit.  She could lift a stack of paper and hand me the one thing I couldn’t find from the latest staff meeting.  She was always learning, getting her students using computers, and wanting to know what I learned at the latest science conference.  She shared beauty with her students through books, art projects and poetry. She had good advice and shared wise insights with me, and I hold the beautiful stories she told me in my heart.  I will miss that chance to have another visit with her.  Rest in peace, Hilda.  You will be missed!

Rest in peace, Hilda. Thank you for your kindness and always sharing what you had, to help our students. ~ Valoree Ryal

You will be missed Ms. Lord. I will always remember the example of kindness that you extended to your students and the staff at SV. May you rest in eternal peace.

Hilda was my neighbor teacher when I first started teaching 30 years ago.  She was always so kind and giving.  Her students were so blessed to have her as their teacher.  I will never forget how she would collect things to give to her students who needed extra support.  She was a gentle soul.

I worked with Hilda for 20 years and had the opportunity to get to know her very well.  As a teacher, Hilda cared very much for her students.  She created a culture in her classroom that established her expectations for their behavior, but also let them know that she would support them and protect them.

I often thought of Hilda as a Mother Bear who was firm with her students, but would protect them like a beloved family member.
It was a tribute to that relationship that many former students would come back to visit Hilda for years after they left her classroom.

I have many memories of Hilda and will miss her.    I share my condolences with her friends and family.  May she rest in peace.

Hilda was a kind person and an amazing teacher. I know she will be truly missed and all who knew her, especially her students were better for it. 
She was so giving. 
Rest in peace Hilda.

The friendship I built with Hilda over the last five or more years was an incredibly amazing experience. Hilda was such a loving and sweet person. I will truly miss hearing stories from her youth, as well as the silly scenarios in which we would find ourselves. Be in peace, my friend.

I wish to send my condolences to the friends and family of Hilda. She was a devoted and caring teacher to the children she served over a long and vast career.  May she rest in peace knowing she touched so many lives. -Cathy Kalcevich
