Ila M. Finch, 92, of Oxford, NY, passed away due to complications from Covid-19 January 19, 2021, at Chase Memorial Nursing Home in New Berlin, NY.
Ila was born January 26, 1928 to Myron A and Jennie (Clark) Moors in West Springfield, MA. On September 9, 1950, she married Richard A. (Dick) Finch, who passed away January 8, 2021.
Ila is survived by three sons, Frank of South New Berlin, Jeff (Rebecca) of Greensboro, N.C. and James (Ruth Smith) of Oxford. She is also survived by her two grandsons, Brandon (Beth) Finch of Scotts Hill, NC and Derek (Christina) Finch of Kwajalein, Republic of the Marshall Islands. Several nieces, nephews, and cousins also survive. Additionally, she is survived by her 4 "Grand-doggies", all of whom adored "Grandma".
Besides her loving husband, she was predeceased by her brother Myron Moors, Jr.
From 1945 until 1951, Ila worked for the Chenango County Extension Service in the Farm Bureau and 4-H offices. In 1964, she went to work for the Oxford School District for 12 years and then worked for 2 years at the NYS Vets Home. In 1978, she went to work at the Norwich Pharmacal Company until her retirement in 1990.
She so loved her family, spoiling her grandsons, time spent fishing and playing cards with Dick and friends at Lake Ludlow, and all of her four legged "children".
The family expresses their deepest gratitude to all, for the support and love they showed Ila and Dick. They also express their sincere thanks to Ila and Dick's neighbors and friends for the wonderful feasts and gracious assistance they gave them.
At Ila's request, she will be remembered in a small family service at Riverview Cemetery at 11.00 am on Monday, January 25, 2021. For those wishing to remember Ila, a donation to the Chenango County SPCA or a charity of one's choice would be extremely appreciated, in lieu of flowers.
