Lucinda G. Fairfield Wilson, loving wife
HINSDALE — Lucinda G. Fairfield Wilson passed away Sunday (Feb. 8, 2026) at Cuba Memorial Hospital, with loving family by her side, after a short illness.
She was born in Hinsdale on Jan. 9, 1951, the daughter of Kenneth and Ellena Stuart Fairfield. In July, 1991, she married her true love, Bernard M. Wilson, who survives.
Lucinda was a graduate of Hinsdale Central School.
She went on to work for the Castle Inn Motel and then the Mother House in Allegany, where she met the love of her life, Bernard. She also worked for daycares at Immanuel Day Care and the Cuba Grange.
She loved when she and Bernie would go for car rides, eat out and sit and watch the traffic go by. Lucinda followed many sports, including bowling and tennis, and loved baseball, especially the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees. She was also a true Buffalo Bills and NASCAR fan.
Lucinda found joy in watching the numerous birds come to her bird feeder. She was a proud member of the Maplehurst Baptist Church, attending when able, volunteering, and enjoyed reading her bible. Lucinda was kind-hearted and would do anything for anyone at any time.
