So many great memories of Aunt Hilda. She stayed with us in Ontario for a time when she was about 15, I think. We visited N.S. every year and loved getting together with her and her family. She always made sure that scallops were available, more often than not from Bradford. She and I both loved burnt bread. I loved her and deeply regret her passing. Condolences to all who also loved her.

We first met Hilda and family in the hospital. She was my mother's (Fran) roommate Hilda was a strong, thoughtful person with a smile that said it all . She enjoyed bingo night with Brad, CKBW barn dance music with Cathy, and visits with family and friends. She fought a hard and courageous battle that ended sadly on November 29th. Rest in peace Hilda with your husband Gerry. Our sincere condolences to all the family.

Sent by dear friend Peggy Graham--elegant Canadian Writer/Reporter living in Bridgewater via Dayspring:
I didn't really meet your sister but one day, years ago, I was at the hospital for a test of some kind. Hilda was also there having a test. There were all kinds of people in the waiting area in the ultrasound and xray dept. Hilda chatted to a few people, many of them strangers then went for her test. When she came out she went around and shook hands with everyone there, introducing herself and wishing them well. It was such a nice moment and, from what I just read in her obituary, a real indication of her enjoyment of people, known or not. I'm sure you'll miss her Gwendolyn. Our condolences to you and your family on her loss.

We are sorry to hear of Hilda's passing. She helped us find our home back in 2006 and was just a riot to work with. She regaled us with stories as we drove together all over the place. Turned out she was also quite a determined negotiator on our behalf and this was a relief as the purchase had to go through when we were back in Florida. We will never forget coming up to secure the house in November. We had sleeping bags and a card table and 2 chairs, and when we arrived Hilda gave us a warm welcome with dishes, glasses, and cutlery from the Daisy and two fresh lobster from a friend. We love our home on the South Shore and Hilda will always be part of our Nova Scotia story.

Sincere condolences to Hilda's family. I knew her as Holly's Aunt and a lovely lady. Years could go by and we'd not see each other but when we met - she was full of questions and made me feel as if no time had gone by. She sure was vibrant and will be missed for sure. Hugs - Rev. Ruby Carter

Hilda you were a force to be reckoned with " Hurricane Hilda" always full of life ,love and laughter. Quick to throw a meal together for a houseful of people, dance the night away and carry on conversations till the wee hours of the morning. We had a lot of laughs and made many memories. As Gerry would say , you were " five feet tall and bulletproof" . Until we meet again, keep Heaven Rockin ... Karen Higney

July 30, 2013 Birthday celebration for Hilda at her dear friends place Mary and Brian Stocks!
Photos and message provided with love by Mary Austin Stocks and real estate colleagues.
Hilda friends and real estate colleagues always celebrated her birthday with her. Monica Sontrop, Mary Stocks, Michael Wilson and Fran Shea. Always smiling and happy and up for a rousing discussion - our Hilda was the best.
“Hilda was the only person in Real Estate history in Bridgewater to show up in her Pjs to accept a delivery of a printer (because she lived close by) AND she flirted with the truck driver" :)
