Aunt Hildegarde ...............

 

Has SPUNK, but isn't RUDE

Values the TRUTH, not LIES

Enjoys WHIST, but not BRIDGE

Enjoys ATHENS, but not the rest of GREECE

Goes to the RACES, though she doesn't like HORSES 

Answer:

 

Aunt Hildegarde may have been visiting her sister COREY, or any other relative whose name could drop its first and last letters and leave a valid word.
