Hilda is survived by one daughter, Laurel Hinsdale (Leonard) of Grand Harbour, one son Morrill Ingersoll of North Head, two grandsons, Levi Bagley of Moncton, and Nathaniel Bagley of Peace River, AB, and one nephew Albert Harvey of Bedford, NS. She was predeceased by her husband of 54 years, Grimmer in 2007, sister Leila (Harvey) in 2008, one brother Donald in 1951, and also an infant brother.
