ETTA SYLVIA FERRI (BLACKBURN)

Etta Sylvia "Tucky" Ferri, 92, passed away peacefully on July 16, 2025, in Wallingford, Connecticut

Born on September 21, 1932, in Chester, VT, Etta was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose presence brought warmth and light to all who knew her. Her family takes comfort in knowing that she has gone to be with Our Lord in His Kingdom.

She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children: Voilette M. Stroll; Deborah A. Freedman; Robin L. D'Eramo; Levi L. Stroll; and Louis A. Ferri, Jr. Each of them carries cherished memories of their mother's strength and grace.

Voilette shares that "my dear and beautiful mother is now joyous in Paradise and I send her all of my love".

Deborah remembers how proud she always was of her mom: "I remember as a child when my friends would meet her, they always commented on how young and beautiful she was! And she truly was. When I was sick in bed with whooping cough, she rarely left my side. Rest in Peace, Mom. Your job is done and you did it very well!"

Her daughter, Robin, says "the day she was born she was blessed with a precious, loving, kind gift that lasted 70 years of my life, my mother. Mom, you will always be in my heart and I love you."



Levi recalls his final conversation with his mother: "In my last conversation with my mom 'Myron,' she was worrying about me when she was only hours from passing herself. I told her I was and would be fine. Always my Mom, no matter what."

Her son, Louis, said that she was his best friend and that she was the most beautiful woman inside and out. She had an aura that shined like the sun. Now the sun has set.

Etta was predeceased by her devoted husband, Louis A. Ferri, Sr., as well as her siblings Kenneth, Edwin, Ruby, Ellen, and Sally. Their memories live on through the stories and love shared by those who remain.

Etta also leaves behind eight grandchildren-Dr. Robert J. Kubick Jr., Christopher A. Kubick, John M. Stroll, Michael P. D'Eramo, Trent J. D'Eramo, January M. Violette, Justin D. Stroll, and Louis G. Ferri-as well as many great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews who will continue to honor her memory.

At Etta's request, there will be no services.

Her family mourns the loss of a remarkable woman whose love shaped generations-and celebrates a life lived with quiet strength and enduring beauty.

May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.
