RALEIGH - Hilda Alderman of 269 Springmoor Drive, Raleigh passed away 
Sunday night at Rex Hospital.  Before her move to Raleigh, she was a long 
time resident of Grantsboro, N.C. where she was a proud and dedicated 
member of Bayboro United Methodist Church. Her accomplishments were many 
but one she was particularly proud of was her role as secretary/treasurer 
of the local chapter of the American Cancer Society for 25 years.  Mrs. 
Alderman was the wife of the late Pete Alderman and the daughter of the 
late Nathan Dennis Ford and Lillie Mae Curry. Growing up in the south, she 
developed a love of gardening, cooking, embroidery and needlepoint. She 
leaves behind many beautiful hand made treasures including elaborate 
Christmas stockings that will be enjoyed by her family for many years.  
She is survived by her son, Ray S. Alderman of Scottsdale, AZ; her 
daughter, Dr. Sabra A. McNeill and her husband, Jim, of Raleigh, NC; her 
grandchildren, Bruce Dilworth, Marshall Drez, Emily Alderman and Paul 
Woodard, II; and her great grandchildren, Austin Drez and Ford Dilworth.  
Her family will miss so many wonderful things about her but in particular 
her great sense of humor, sweet soft kisses, and her loving spirit.  In 
lieu of flowers, Hilda requested contributions be made to the American 
Cancer Society, designated for the Pamlico County Chapter, at 930-B 
Wellness Drive, Greenville, N.C. 27834 or toll free 1-800-227-2345.  The 
family will join with local friends for a brief memorial service 7:00 p.m. 
Thursday, June 3, 2004 in Room 273-A, Springmoor Retirement Community.  
Funeral arrangements include family visitation 7:00-9:00 p.m. Saturday, 
June 5th and a memorial service celebrating her life, Sunday, June 6th at 
Bryant Funeral Home, Alliance, N.C., performed by Reverend Phyllis Mayo, 
Chaplain at Springmoor Retirement Community.  A private family graveside 
service will follow at Greenleaf Memorial Park in New Bern, N.C.
