Lynda was born in Glendale, California on January 5, 1949, the daughter of Clifton Calvin Foreman and Anna Mae Foushee Foreman.
She graduated from Burbank High School in 1967. She attended Pierce College and was graduated from San Fernando Valley State College.
Lynda married Paul Hildebrand from the class of 1965 in 1970 at the Valley Baptist Church. The bride wore a gown of Alencon lace made with a Victorian wimple and detachable Watteau train. A fresh floral headpiece held her chapel-length veil and she carried carnations and pink rose buds.
Carol Youngblood was maid of honor and attendents were Sharon Davis, Lori Seltzer, Mary Davis and Tina Hakkell. Wayne Masten was best man and ushers were Cal Foreman, Bob Jorgensen, Bruce Bunting and Mike Edson.
After the wedding reception the couple left for a honey-moon trip to Northern California.
Lynda Annette Foreman Hildebrand passed away on February 15, 2007 in Santa Clarita, California and was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills, California. She was 58 years old.
A college classmate remembers Lynda:
Lynda, you remain very special though you are gone from us for now. However quietly you touched others with artwork, with music, with graciousness. Your designs adorned the likes of the '67 Ceralbus cover and Burbank City vehicles. In composing for and playing guitar you helped others celebrate higher things. You put gatherings together ranging from a few hours to a weekend, never making yourself the center of things. When we sat through one of Dr. Louis Gasper's rants against basic Christianity in his Sociology course at Pierce College you kept from being goaded into one of his traps; somehow your quietness got to him. You always seemed to show graciousness and intelligence and beauty and charm and concern--the right kind of people in the sense of character, never the elitist sense. And Paul was sensible enough, early enough, to realize very appealing qualities in you, and rightly so. It's good for us to think of you and miss you but better to see that to have known you we were favored and blessed.
Linda certainly touched many lives at Highlands Elementary. Teachers were blessed to have such a talented art teacher who led amazing art lessons that captivated the students. We miss your talent, Linda. You will never be forgotten.
