Hilda Holm Cyphers
April 9, 1927 - September 5, 2014
My grandmother Hildee was an incredible matriarch, who earned her title through a lifetime of wisdom, love, and strong leadership. She was a distinguished chair of the membership guild at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, where she spent countless hours advocating for the arts and inspiring the community. Despite her busy schedule, Hildee always made time for her 15 grandchildren, showering us with love, wisdom, and laughter. Like most matriarchs, she was the glue that held the family together. Her legacy lives on through the memories and stories that my family and I share, and our relationship inspired the name of my business, Maiden to Matriarch. Our mission is to empower women to embrace their full potential and become the matriarchs in their own lives - to lead with grace, poise, and confidence, and to make a positive impact on the world around them.
Hildee, thank you for loving and me unconditionally through hard seasons and for all the birthday cakes we made on Jesus’s birthday that continue to remind me that, He is the reason for all the seasons.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, bless these wings (or wheels) we travel on.
