Hilda Howe
Tupelo- Hilda Fudge Howe, 94, stepped into the presence of her Savior, Sunday, January 9, 2022, in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Born July 11, 1927, in Oxford, Mississippi, Hilda was the daughter of the late Romie Elmo Fudge and Emma Edna (Ray) Fudge and the widow of Berton Glenn Howe. She was predeceased by her son, Donald (Chris). She is survived by her sons, Thomas (Patricia), Robert (Linda), Richard (Rebekah), and David (Ginger); 11 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren.
The youngest of 12 children, Hilda loved working at Neilson’s in Oxford and cherished memories of that time throughout her life. During the early years of marriage, the family lived in multiple Mississippi cities. In 1968, Hilda and Bert settled in Tupelo. After her children were raised, Hilda enjoyed working at McRae’s and later at Hancock Fabrics, where she loved sharing her love of sewing.
Hilda was a member of Lawndale Presbyterian Church and the family thanks the Lawndale family for their support and love for Hilda over the years. The family also extends gratitude to Traceway and the Green House Homes at Traceway for their loving care.
