Elaine M. Wilson

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elaine M. Wilson, 84, of Contoocook, NH, born August 25th 1941. She was raised in Hopkinton and graduated from Hopkinton High School in 1959. She was predeceased in 2004 by her husband of 44 years, Ray S. Wilson.

She is survived by her two children, Rosemary Larkowich and Gregory Wilson, both of Contoocook, Rosemary’s son Jack Decatur, and his children with Emily Swarbrick: Riley, Emerson, Cailyn, and Olivia. She is also survived by Gregory’s daughter, Meagan Wilson, as well as Gregory’s stepchildren and grandchildren shared with his wife, Trina: Nichole, Karina, Keana, Julia, Devyn, Preston, Michael, Brock, Talon and Rylie.

Lainey, as she was known by family for decades, is also survived by her brother in law, Don K. Wilson (Shelly Wilson), and many nieces, nephews, and their children in the Hatch and Wilson families.

Throughout her career, Elaine worked for the Disability Determination Unit, Concord Oral Surgery, HealthSource and Cigna, Catholic Medical Center and The Eliot and finally at Lovering Volvo. She was very proud of her work ethic and the quality of her work, and it was appreciated by all who worked with her.

Elaine will be remembered as someone who was dedicated to her friends and family and who loved her community here in Contoocook. After her retirement, Elaine made a new group of friends and was very active at the Slusser Senior Center. She made and donated countless hats to children in need and to soldiers overseas, lap blankets for residents in nursing homes, and sweaters and blankets for her grandbabies and great-grandbabies. She also enjoyed reading and her visits to the Library and chatting with the librarians. She loved walking in town with two of her best friends, making new friends in new neighborhoods and bringing apples and carrots to her horse and dog friends along the way. She always had a kind word and good advice for anyone who needed either.

There will be a service of remembrance for family and friends at Cremation Society of New Hampshire, 172 King Street (Route 3) in Boscawen, NH on Friday, January 2nd at 11am. There will be a private interment ceremony at the Veterans' Cemetery in Boscawen for immediate family at a later time.
