Hilma married her beloved husband Bertram Scott on February 27, 1965, and was blessed with three children, Christine, Dahlia and Gary.

Hilma was best known for her hospitality, generosity, great cooking and baking.  Her door was always open to anyone in need or who just wanted to stop by and chat. She loved to cook large meals it was not in her nature to let you leave empty handed.  She had a big heart helping others, including family and friends, and was very devoted to her husband, family and Christian faith.

She was never one to stay still for very long. She took up Real Estate sales, she became a Nurse’s aide because she loved to help those in need. And lastly, became part owner of a Laundry service in NYC on W33^rd Street and Manager for the apartments she owed above.
