Gilda was a lifelong Waterford Works (Winslow Twp.) resident. She was a member of the Winslow Twp. Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary (Station 8) and the Winslow Twp. Historical Society.

Before retiring, Gilda worked at the Atlantic City casinos and met many celebrities, all who adored her easy and fun nature. She was a world traveler, setting sail to Alaska and Italy to name a few destinations. She was known to fly to the Bahamas with her daughter and grandson just for lunch!
She is remembered fondly for her cookies and her baking skills as well as her “famous” birthday brunch.
