  2. I was trying to remember how long I have known Hilda. I couldn’t come up with an exact number but lets just say over 40 years. Over all these years there were
    the family birthdays, Xmas and any other functions in which Hilda would be sitting in Tony / Gail’s lounge waiting to welcome you, then proceed in having a
    catch up on all the news.
    Truly a wonderful lady who will be sadly missed by all.

  3. Each year around Christmas I have thought of Hilda and wondered how she was. That was the time Avril, Simon, Ruth and I would always come to visit Irving and Hilda and their little dogs. The first time was many years ago but my memories of Hilda were of her smiling, happy face and her interest in us all and our lives. I know Simon and Ruth always enjoyed meeting up with her and will miss the love and care she showed us all. She led a loving, generous life and will be missed by all of us. Lots of love John, Simon & Jodie, Essence, Serena & Ayla and Ruth

  7. We are very sad to hear that our greatnan has passed. We all loved going to her house growing up, seeing her dog, having a cup of tea and listening to her many stories about growing up in the war and everything she would get up too in England. We will cherish the time we spent with her and always remember her fondly. A lovely person with so much wisdom and kind heart. Sending lots of love and condolences to the family.

  13. I first met Hilda in 1986 as a shy 17 year old boy who felt awkward in a new family but Hilda always made me feel welcome. She always had a fun story to tell and the Christmases and pokie trips were so much fun, watching her and Irvine was so entertaining, I’ll always remember her positive attitude and big smile for every occasion. She was an awsome grandmother to Shelley and always there whenever she needed her, she will be greatly missed.
