Nolan and Hilda were both retired, enjoying their life while spending time with their children, grandchildren, and friends. Nolan was a graduate of Erath High School, served honorably in the Army National Guard, and worked as the shipping supervisor for L. A. Frey Meats in Lafayette in his early years. For the remainder of his career until he retired in 2007, Nolan was a contractor specializing in residential construction and built countless custom homes in Acadiana for his clients, often building more than one home for that same client over the years.
Hilda was a graduate of Breaux Bridge High School. In her early years, she worked for First National in Lafayette in the Bookkeeping Dept. She put work aside after the sudden death of her mother in 1965, dedicating herself to raising her family and caring for her father. She later worked for Abdalla’s in the Oil Center for almost 20 years, retiring in 2000 as an assistant manager in the Children’s Dept. Hilda was blessed with a loyal clientele who became special friends over those years, as well as her work family who were very dear to her heart.
They will both be missed by the many lives they have touched and forever loved in the hearts of their family.
The family requests that visitation be observed in Martin & Castille’s DOWNTOWN location on Saturday, February 27, 2021, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will continue on Sunday, February 28, 2021, from 10 a.m. until time of services.
