At an early age she professed her faith in Jesus Christ and remained a dedicated member of her church for the rest of her life.

She fell in love and 6 months later married the adoring late Elbert James Ferguson and they made their home in Silsbee for 65 years. Their union was blessed by five beautiful children. Elbert preceded her in death in 2001.

All who knew her knows she served friends, loved ones, those in need humbly, faithfully and tirelessly. Her Christian life was as beautiful as the flowers that she loved so well, and her influence will forever remain in the lives of those touched by her spirit. She had a love for travel and adventure. She and Elbert loved to travel to bluegrass festivals enjoying each other’s company and the beautiful nature of God’s country. She was a proud member of the Red Hat society.
