Ilda was the daughter of the real Mary Alice’s youngest daughter and an Austrian immigrant. She had many of her grandmother’s talents and abilities. She was born and raised in Portland, Oregon.
When World War II broke out she got a job as an aircraft electrician in a defense plant, then joined the Navy nurse Corps. She married another veteran named Frank in August 1947. They made their home in Southern California and raised three children. The family moved to the Seattle area in 1966.
One of her hobbies in her later years was attending a writers workshop and writing poems and short stories. She and Frank were enjoying their Golden years when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in the 1990s. Her husband died in 1999 and she followed him in 2003.
Cora, her youngest daughter, was thirteen when the family moved to the Seattle area. She met her future husband Dan on the school bus less than two years later. They have one daughter and only furry grandchildren. They traveled with the Air Force for twenty years until he retired in 1991. They settled in a small town southeast of Seattle.
Cora was a stay-at-home mom and homemaker, only working a few part-time and volunteer jobs. Now she works at home as a writer and travels the Pacific Northwest as a Christian speaker, assisted by her re-retired husband.
