HATFIELD - Hildie F. Osley, 76, of Hatfield, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 10, 2026, with her family by her side following a brief illness.

Born in Falls Church, Virginia, Hildie was the daughter of the late Dr. F. Raymond and Violet (Oliveira) Fosberg. She was educated in Virginia schools before moving to Massachusetts, where she built both her career and the life she loved. Hildie earned her associate’s degree from Holyoke Community College and went on to receive her bachelor’s degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Hildie dedicated 35 years of service to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Unemployment Assistance, beginning her career as a clerk and rising to the role of Senior Review Examiner before her retirement. She took pride in her work and the people she helped along the way.

Hildie shared a deep and lasting love with her husband, Donald. Over their four decades together, they built a life centered on family and time spent with those they loved most. Some of their happiest moments were spent at their beach home, where summers were filled with laughter, friends dropping by, and family gathered close—creating memories and traditions that will be cherished for generations.

Hildie had a gentle, giving nature and a deep sense of care for others. She devoted herself to her family and also gave back to her community, volunteering for many years at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home and during the holidays with hospice organizations, wrapping gifts to help raise funds for those in need.

She found joy in life’s everyday pleasures—playing cards as a member of the Hatfield American Legion Pitch League, gardening as part of the Community Garden Club, and tending to her fishponds at home. More than anything, she cherished time with her family. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she treasured every hug, every visit, and every moment spent together.

Hildie was predeceased by her parents and her siblings, Charlene Kyle and Ilima Sylva.

She leaves her husband, Donald Osley of Hatfield; her children, Melani (Michael) Skawski of Hatfield, Mollie (Larry) Scortichini of Port Jefferson Station, New York, and Donald Osley (Jennifer Wheelehon) of Coventry, Rhode Island; her cherished grandchildren, Vanessa and Madeline Skawski, Katelyn Phelps, Nina Skawski, Mason Scortichini, Matthew and Ryan Osley, Evan and Colin Dion; and her beloved great-granddaughter, Willow Woodward. She is also survived by her twin sister, Karol Bradford of Turners Falls, along with several nieces and nephews.

Family and friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Sunday, April 19, 2026, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Ahearn FUNERAL HOME, 783 Bridge Road, Northampton. A service will follow at 3:00 p.m. Burial will be private.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Hildie’s memory to a charitable organization of your choice.
