Jennifer Wilcox

March 2, 1973 – March 8, 2026

Jennifer Wilcox, 53, of Ballston Spa, New York, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2026, just days after celebrating her birthday. Born on March 2, 1973, in Framingham, Massachusetts, Jennifer lived a life defined by her deep love for her family and her warmth toward all those fortunate enough to know her. She is remembered most by those closest to her as a devoted mother, a steadfast sister, and a caring friend.

Jennifer attended Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, where she studied elementary education. She went on to share her gift for nurturing young minds, teaching preschool in Boston before embracing her role as a stay-at-home mother to Connor and Davis, enriching their lives with activities and learning. As her sons grew, Jen returned to teaching preschool where she loved working with children and fostering their growth.

Jen loved to travel, see live music, and seek out adventure with her friends and family. One of her most treasured traditions was spending time each summer at Buzzards Bay, where she created countless memories with those she held dear.

Jennifer is survived by her sons, Connor and Davis Wilcox, and their father Stephen Wilcox, all of Ballston Spa, NY; her mother, Martha Hayes of Framingham, MA; her sister, Kelley Zepf of Marlborough, MA; her nephew, Nathan Zepf; and her beloved golden retriever, Beau.

She was preceded in death by her father, Dennis Hayes of Framingham, MA.

Jennifer’s spirit, kindness, and the love she poured into her family will endure in the hearts of all who were blessed to share in her life. She will be profoundly missed.

Relatives and friends may call from 3-6pm, on Monday, March 16, 2026 at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Home, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 (518-584-5373).
