December 17, 1937 - November 19, 2024
Fern passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family. In the months and days leading up to her passing, she found joy in visiting with family and friends, creating cherished memories for all who knew her. Special thanks to all the health care professionals who provided such kind and loving care.
Fern is survived by her daughters: Debby (Jim), Heidi, Kyla (Gilbert), and Marcia (Anthony); her grandsons: Kyle (Cherisse), Tyler (Helen), Travis (Courtney), Nicholas (Toni), and Kurtis (Jordyn); her great-granddaughter, Amelia; her great-grandsons, Harrison and Hayden; her special sister, Olive; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband Albert, nine of her thirteen siblings, and her grandson Devin.
Family was the cornerstone of Fern’s life. Her love and dedication were evident in the many holiday and birthday celebrations she organized and her thoughtful gift-giving. Her generosity and hospitality were unmatched—expressed through her home-cooked meals, baked treats, canned goods, and her open-door policy that welcomed all. Fern’s helping hand and warm spirit touched many lives, leaving a lasting legacy of kindness and care.
She will forever be in our hearts.
A celebration of her life will be held in late spring on Saturday, May 31st at Ferndale Hall.
