Fern was a great neighbor and friend. I always enjoyed visiting with her, especially at my yearly garage sales. Will also miss her great Christmas baking. Peace and all good...Joanne

I just found out Fern has passed away. She was a wonderful and sweet lady and it was a pleasure getting to know her as my neighbor.It was a pleasure to shovel Fern's sidewalks during the winter and help her out whenever I could and I appreciated her concern for my well being. My sympathy's are with you Doris and Debbie and your families, especially this time of year.

We will miss Fern at Sterling Park! She was always so helpful and a pleasure to visit with. Her friendship will be missed as will the seasonal decor at the end of the hallway!
