She was raised in Malden, Massachusetts and graduated from high school there. She began her tennis career at Longwood at the age of 12. In 1931, she with her sister, Helen, won the National Junior Indoor Doubles Championship recognized by the United States Lawn Tennis Association. She was a 1933 graduate of Bouve-Boston College, Boston, Massachusetts. She was head of the physical education staff at Chatham Hall in Chatham, Virginia (all girls boarding school). In 1939 she was a member of the staff of Pembroke College of Brown University at Providence, Rhode Island. Her daughter wrote in January of 2004 "Together they played tournament tennis during the late 1920s and early 1930s and were once during that time the national women's doubles champions. Hilda was at one time seeded first in New England and fifth nationwide. She played such tennis stars as Helen Wills Moody and Alice Marble. The Boehm twins were the Malden Evening News "Women of the Year" around 1929-1930. They received their degrees from Bouve-Boston School, which is now part of Northeastern University. Before her marriage, Boehmie taught physical education at Chatham Hall, Chatham, Virginia and Pembroke College (now part of Brown University) in Rhode Island. In the 1950's, she went back to teaching: first she taught health and physical education at Alden Central School in Alden, New York, and then at St. Charles Borromeo Elementary School in Syracuse (Westvale), New York. She later did substitute teaching in Yorktown Heights, New York. Both Bill and Boehmie loved to fish and spent part of every year at Black Lake in the northern tier of New York State. Boehmie knitted, crocheted, and worked with many other craft." Joanne Walsh, her daughter, was the informant at her death.
