Hilda spent a good part of her adult life living on the Kennebecasis River where she raised her family and was an avid enthusiast of the river and the wildlife in the surrounding area while at the same time providing the neighborhood children with the best cookies and sugar doughnuts ever made. She was a strong woman who was admired by her children for her ability to tackle whatever task came her way whether it be upholstering her favorite rocking chair or shoveling snow in the early hours of the morning so that the kids could get to the school bus on time. Hilda also spent very precious time being 'Nana' to Jennifer and Scott. Arrangements are under the care of Brenan's Select Community Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John (506) 634-7424 with visiting on Wednesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 pm.
