Born on August 5, 1940 in Owosso. Tim was the cherished son of Edward and Anna (Mahoney) Ferrigan. He spent his entire life as a proud and active member of the Laingsburg community.
Tim dedicated himself to his country through service in the United States Navy, a period of his life that instilled in him a sense of duty and honor that he carried throughout his years. After serving, he found his calling at General Motors, where he worked diligently for 25 years before retiring in 1993. His colleagues remember him as a devoted and reliable worker.
The cornerstone of Tim's life was his family. He married the love of his life, Marjorie, on January 17, 1970, and together they built a loving home filled with laughter, support, and an abundance of cherished memories. Their union was blessed with seven children: Patricia (Dean) Gillespie, Cindy Smith, Bob (Sheri) Voisinet, Barry (Cindy) Voisinet, Lisa (Mark) Brink, and Lynda (Ron) Underhill. Tim took immense joy in being a guiding light and loving figure to his 14 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren, whose accomplishments and milestones were his greatest pride. He was preceded in death by his parents, his daughter, Laurie Voisinet, and his three brothers, Don, Ed, and David Ferrigan.
As a man of the outdoors, Tim found solace in the beauty of nature. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, embracing the serenity of dawn and the quietude of dusk on his property. His love for the outdoors extended to competitive sports, where he showcased his marksmanship in International Handgun Shoots and took pleasure in participating in sporting clay shoots.
Tim's heart was as vast as the outdoors he loved, he approached life with a spirit of generosity, always placing the needs of others before his own. Family events were the highlights of his calendar, and he never missed an opportunity to support his children and their offspring in all their endeavors.
