Hilda Marie Maness, 77, of Wilmington, passed away on March 14, 2024 surrounded by
her dear friends.
Hilda was born on December 21, 1946, in Randolph County to the late Howard Maness
and Grethel Cole Maness. Hilda was very educated and worked many places over the
years where she found so many wonderful friends. She worked in the White House
during the Reagan Administration and found her love of politics. She also worked at the
Hudson Institute and George Mason University. Her last job was at Intercoastal Realty
where her coworkers became like family.
Hilda loved to travel and got the chance to travel across the world. She loved to shop
and be with friends. She had a sass and wit about her that was like no one else. If you
would give her a few minutes she would talk politics and sports with you. She loved her
Duke Blue Devils. She had a huge heart for her dogs and was very passionate about
the Golden Retriever Rescue.
She is survived by her nephew, Chad Maness and wife Morgan, great nieces Cheyenne
and Raylan Maness all of Gibsonville. Along with her parents she was preceded in
death by her brother, William H Maness.
A memorial service will be held at a later date at Mt. Olivet United Methodist Church
Cemetery in Seagrove, NC.
Memorials may be made to Grand Stand Golden Retriever Rescue, P.O. Box 463
Murrells Inlet, SC 29576.
