Karen Louise Ferguson

Gone, but not forgotten!

I recently learned that my gyn (retired) passed away several months ago and I'm having a very hard time processing her loss. Fergie (Dr. Karen Ferguson) was my doctor for over 20 years: but she was more than that. She was a very special person and a very good friend. She guided me through infertility treatments, multiple surgeries and miscarriages, including several ectopic (which eventually took my tube when it exploded on the operating table). Another time, I bled into my abdominal cavity which forced an emergency surgery and Fergie was prepped and ready when they rolled me into the OR. Thank God I had my Fergie to take care of me and thank God it was in a time where doctors and patients were able to make life-saving decisions so I didn't bleed out on my kitchen floor. Fergie, I love you and miss you so much. I hope we in Florida make you proud this election. You stood up for women for a long time, now it's our turn. (written prior to 11/6/24)

What a great person and doctor. I loved working with her in Melbourne. Big hugs to her family. I'll be keeping you in my prayers

My deepest sympathy to Karen's family & friends. I was Karen's Med School classmate & roommate. Five us connected the summer prior to our first year through a class list mailed from the school. Five women, all strangers, all low on funds. We rented a tiny house. One day Karen dragged in a stack of lumber, a pile of fabric, and a staple gun, and announced, "We're going to build a couch!" Five roommates have never had so much fun as we did. She was always there for us, and for everyone she encountered. Karen, you are missed terribly.

So sorry to hear of Karen's passing. I had the pleasure of working with her, when her nurse Judy was off at our OB/GYN office at Par Place. All her patients loved her, and would wait as long as it took to see her for their visit that day.... She added to Dr.OLIVEIRA and Dr.GRIFFITH a wonderful partner, cherished friend,filled with love,fun and a heart of compassion....R.I.P. Dr.Karen

My deepest condolences to Karen´s family and friends (of who I am one). I´ve known Karen since moving to Melbourne some 40 years ago. Our husbands worked together, she delivered my children, and took care of my daughter´s gyn needs many years later. I had the privilege of being her dentist. She graced our lives with her love, humor and excellence in medicine. She taught us to be better people and practitioners. I was a tad bit envious of all those bicycle trips she took. I´m sorry I never took her up on her offer to ride! See you in heaven, sweet Karen....

Karen would visit our Hair Salon for her Hair needs! I got to know her personally...she was also my Doctor! She was very intelligent ,kind thoughtful! She was the BESTEST FEMALE DOCTOR around! I followed her everywhere she moved her practice!!! It broke my heart when she retired...now my heart is broken again!! I hope to see her again in heaven

I´m so sorry for your loss! I worked with Karen in Labor and Delivery at Holmes Regional Medical Centre for many years! She use to make me milk jugs full of Long Island ice tea, and told me not to share. She was a caring,compassionate doctor, and a wonderful friend! I will miss her and the world of Maternal Child has lost an amazing doctor! My heart is with you. Please let me know when and where her services will be
