Hilda enjoyed knitting in her free time and lovingly made blankets for all of her children and grandchildren. Above all, she cherished spending time with her family. She always made sure that each family member was celebrated with a birthday gathering, believing that being together was what mattered most. She would often say, “We have enough family, and family is all we need. No need for big parties.” These simple words reflected just how much family meant to her.
