Upon moving to Charlotte, she transferred to Queens College, where she received her B.S. in Chemistry in 1960.

One of the great loves of Hilda’s life was cooking. She always enjoyed preparing wonderful meals for various gatherings. Her recipes are cherished among her family and close friends and will be used for years to come. She also enjoyed reading, puzzles, gardening, and time at their beach house in Seabrook, SC.
