Hulda was born on March 2, 1921, the youngest of five children, on the family farm of Alfred and Karine Lynne of rural Maddock, ND. Her education included eight years at the "Lynne School", across the road from their farm, and graduation from BCATS in 1939.
Hulda was a life-long member of Viking Lutheran Church where she was baptized and confirmed. On August 29, 1940, she was united in marriage to Adolph Faleide and moved to the Faleide farm where they raised their six children.
Hulda lived on the farm until she moved into Maddock in 1994. In 2011 she moved to Fargo to be closer to most of her children. She loved caring for and visiting her grandchildren and great-grandchildren whenever she could or was needed. Her family's favorite time of the year was Christmas when "Grandma" made Norwegian lefse and Scandinavian cookies for everyone. Over the years she gave lessons to her family who now keep up the tradition.
She was active in South Viking Homemakers Club and Viking Church Women, serving in many offices. Throughout her life, she sewed for her family, and in her years made hundreds of quilt tops for Lutheran World Relief. Another pastime was scrapbooking of history and family memories.
A favorite event for Hulda was a special trip she and her three daughters took to Norway in 2000. She said she felt like she was "home" when we came to her ancestor's home areas of her Mother and Grandparents.
