Bolin, Hilda G.

Bolin, Hilda Gloria Sunseri 86, of Pensacola, FL passed away on
September 10, 2011 surrounded by family. She was born to Ninfa
and Frank Sunseri on March 10, 1925 in Pittsburgh, PA, the
seventh of nine children in a large, loving Italian family. She
was the last of her siblings. Hilda was a resident of Scottsdale
for over 50 years where her door was always open to the many
that flowed in and out, never being allowed to leave until
they'd been fed. She didn't know a stranger and no one escaped
her hugs. Her organizational skills could have allowed her to
run a major corporation, but instead she chose the career and
life of a Mother. Hilda was preceded in death by her husband
Harold (Hal) L. Bolin of Scottsdale. She is survived by her son,
Kent Bolin (Debra), of Pensacola, FL and daughters Kim Heintzman
(Dan) of Durango, CO and Karin White (Bear Wilson) of Colorado
Springs, CO; her grandchildren-the lights of her life, Alex,
Ali, Anna and Wesley Michelle; and two great-granddaughters
Katie and Lilah whom she adored. She also left behind many
beloved nieces, nephews and cousins. Hilda was a devoted Mother,
Nana and Wife who will be greatly missed by her family and many
friends. A memorial service is pending. Cremation is planned and
her ashes will be buried with Hal in the Mesa Cemetery.
