Nancy Ferguson Obituary
She was preceded in death by her husband, Henry R. Ferguson; daughter, Gail Ferguson; and two sons, John and Chuck Ferguson.
Nancy was born on Feb. 16, 1928, in Belt, Mont., to John Henry and Maimie Marie (née Carlson) Heikkila. She grew up in Little Belt and after high school went to nursing school in Great Falls, Mont., graduating in 1950 a registered nurse.
She met her future husband, Henry, during nursing school and they married after graduation on Dec. 17, 1950. Their journey together took them from Great Falls to Alaska, working on the Alaska highway, living out of a small travel trailer, eventually ending up in Anchorage, Alaska, in 1955. They owned and operated Ferguson Stables and a horseshoeing business in Anchorage from 1960 until 1971 as well as running multiple milk routes in the Anchorage area.
During the aftermath of the 1964 earthquake, Nancy worked at Providence hospital for a period of time to help with the injured. She was very proud of her nursing degree and kept it active until the late 1990. She will be dearly missed.

Nancy helped develop my legacy in ways other than my sister. She was my 1st and 2nd grade teacher before going on to get her Nursing license and degree. She was definitely someone to emulate. Her life story speaks volumes in exemplifiying a thoughful, loving life.

Eddie and I have such fond memories of your Mom and Dad, your Mama was very kind to me when I was newly married and living nextdoor to your family. You might not know this, but they paid for our honeymoon in 1964. Of course, Eddie never talks of his youth without mentioning your family. We are so sorry and send the whole family our love and prayers.
