Hilma was born on March 18, 1913 in Sacred Heart, MN, the daughter of Ernest and Mary (Villers) Klenk. She moved to Toledo at five years of age where she attended rural school. Upon graduation from the 8th grade, she worked at several jobs until her marriage. On July 3, 1935, she was united in marriage to Darrell Alexander in Marshalltown, Iowa. They lived in the Tama-Toledo area most of their married life and moved to Premier Estates of Toledo in 1997. Upon Darrell's passing in 1998, Hilma took on another job at the age of 84, wrapping silverware three times each day until retiring at the age of 100. She enjoyed her volunteer job saying she could see all the goings on and keep up with all the latest news from her position in the dining room. Hilma always had a good sense of humor and was liked and loved by all who knew her.
