Bob McGuire recently presented “Wire Wrapped” to library director Tiffany Robbins-Gigee, Athens Public Library, in memory of Honorary Life Member, Hilda Gardiner.
She loved making jewelry and teaching others her art. She was good at wire wrapping and made really nice pieces. Most recently she had a booth in the Jay Mart building where she sold her jewelry.
In a press release, a club representative stated, “We had the pleasure of working with her for quite a few years in the Che-Hanna Show kitchen. She could always be counted on, riding her bike to get the Athens Fire Hall early and get things started for the day. She loved being in charge of making the burgers. We had some really fun times together. She always stayed late and rode her bike home.”
Hilda fought a courageous battle with cancer for two years, but it finally took her life on April 15.
