We are so sorry for your loss. Hilda was a sweetheart! Praying you all feel the peace and comfort of our Lord Jesus.
Wishing the family love and peace at the loss of their beloved matriarch. Nothing like the love of a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Know she is now at rest, whole and without pain. Blessings to all.
Ms Hilda was one of the first “older” people I met when I moved to Zebulon in 1981. She was my favorite teller at the bank. I later got to know James and Merd through Welton and Tammy Sue. Whether Ms Hilda was at work, church, home, pool or ballfield, she was the same loving, happy woman. The world was definitely better for her being in it.
Love and prayers to each of you.
Sorry for your lost prayers for the family
She was a great woman Rest In Peace 🦋
Prayers!
