Hilda was born to Casper and Catherine Klein on September 26, 1919, in Loveland, Colorado—the fourth oldest of eleven children.

After her husband’s death, she moved to Moscow, Idaho, to be near her youngest brother and family. She was employed and resided there for fifteen years before retiring and moving to Helena, Montana, in 1991 to be near her son and daughter-in-law.
She was a very hard-working woman. She loved her flowers and gardening. Hilda was also a very good cook and excellent homemaker. She loved to visit with everyone she met; she was interested in their lives.

Hilda was a wonderful neighbor. She loved her yard and her flowers. I know she missed not being able to care for her flowers and tomatoes this last summer, but she watched my garden with an eagle eye, and was always offering advise and input. She will be missed greatly.
