What a huge loss to the world. Fern was such a wonderful lady. She was a client of my dad and stepmother, and the whole family adored her. Her humor and kindness resonated with so many. She will be greatly missed.

Fern and her husband Mel would come to Dairy Queen every Sunday and always brought a smile to my face. She and her husband would always order food but would always get a mini Butterfinger Blizzard and a Buster Bar after their meal. May we never forget the joy Fern brought to everyone in the areas she graced with her presence. May she not only live forever in the hearts of the ones she cared for most, but as well in the hearts that cared for her. May we always keep her in our heads, hearts, and souls.

Ms Fern was a woman
Of character and grace
Wherever she went
She wore a smile on her face

In church on Sundays
It was great to see her there
She´d sit in the back
In her big old chair

104 years of life
But she was young at heart
And now in Gods hands
She will still do her part

A great Christian woman
An sweet as good honey
And at times she was
So friendly an funny

We´re gonna miss you Fern
But the memories are grand
And someday in heaven
With you we will stand

My sincere condolences to Keith and Jann. She was a bright shining light for everyone who came in contact with her. She was witty and charming. Most importantly she loved Jesus with her whole heart. I remember walking over to her house on Sunday mornings to hitch a ride to Sunday School and Church. She was the first person to introduce me to Jesus and tell me that He loved me. I will always remember her fondly.
