For 34 years, Hulda was a supervisor with Publix Shirt Factory in Columbia. She exhibited the kindness and love of Jesus to all of those with whom she came in contact, with her ever-present smile. Even though Hulda’s life was not always easy, she never complained. She was a very active member of Highland Park Baptist Church and dearly loved the Senior Adult trips, always ready to travel.
