A 1945 graduate of Meyers High School, in 1948 she received her degree as a Registered Nurse from the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital School of Nursing.
In 1949, she moved to New York City and was employed by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for several years before accepting positions in the medical departments of Banker's Trust Company and Standard Oil Company. She also served as a private duty nurse there.
While living and working in New York City, Hilda met her husband, Neil, a resident of the city. Following their marriage on February 14, 1953, they lived in the city for several years before moving to Wilkes-Barre to raise their three sons, Charles, Neil and James.
