On September 29, 1931, she was united in marriage to Otto Zotika at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Cresco. They moved to a farm near Schley. Hilda spent the winters in Naples until her health no longer allowed her to return home.

Hilda was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and seven brothers: Louis, Lawrence, Joseph, Clement, Fred, Andrew and George Wenthold; and three sisters: Ida Burgess, Frances Rink, and Louise Timp.
