Hilda Helen Carlson went to be with her Lord and Savior on April 4, 2022.

She was born July 31, 1929 in Willow River, MN to Jim and Caroline Wagner.  After finishing school, she went to work at Dix Café in Moose Lake.  Hilda met Axel Carlson and they were married on February 26, 1949.  In 1955 they moved to Silver Bay where they raised two sons.  Hilda had a cake decorating business and did many cakes for family and friends.

She loved entertaining and always welcomed friends, family, and neighbors into her home.
