Mary Wilson Kuhfta, 80 of Clark Street Road, the widow of the late Michael Kuhfta III, passed away Saturday, January 28, 2023 in Auburn Community Hospital. A life long resident of Auburn, Mary was the daughter of the late Charles and Betty Russell Wilson and a graduate of Central High School. She retired from TRW following over 25 years of faithful employment. Whether it be one of the day trips to her beloved Finger Lakes, behind the house with her dogs, tending to her garden or at the beach, Mary thoroughly enjoyed being outdoors. She adored all birds, especially her pet birds. Mary also was a tremendous cook, and loved the time spent at the dinner table with her family.
Mary was a communicant of Sacred Heart Church.
She is survived by two daughters Beth Kuzia (Kevin) of CT and Sheri Doell (Peter) of Seneca Falls; one son Vincent Hoadley (Rachael) of Cayuga; grandchildren Kaylee, Gavin, Adria, Abby and Elijah; two sisters Annie Shortell (David) of Munnsville and Margaret Davis (Howard) of Maine; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents and husband Mike, who passed in October of 2022, Mary is predeceased by one brother Gerard Wilson; and sister Sylvia Handy.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated Saturday, November 4, 2023 at 11:00am in Sacred Heart Church. Arrangements are with White Chapel Funeral Home Inc., 197 South Street, Auburn.
