A century of smiles for Hilda

Our home care client Hilda was born in the northern European country of Estonia on May 11, 1923. Arriving in Australia, she settled in Perth with her husband their suburban home in 1950.

More than a homemaker of her time, Hilda worked for many years with photography company Kodak in Kewdale. Commencing there in the early 1960s, Hilda went on to oversee the company’s office staff and she was very well liked by her colleagues.

Fast forward about 30 years, after a long and successful career, Hilda decided to slow down and retired from the organisation aged 65. Her carer Silvia says Hilda’s desire is to live in her own home for as long as possible.

“We would like to share photos of when she was 18 years old and now looking just as beautiful with a big smile at 100,” said Silvia.
