Elizabeth Ferris Obituary

Groton - Elizabeth Mae "Liz" (Sonier) Ferris was born July 31, 1925, in Vinton, La., and passed away unexpectedly at home Feb. 9, 2022. Liz or Lizzie, as she liked to be called, was a strong, sweet, and caring soul full of spunk. Everyone referred to her as "Gram" as she was always willing to help anyone in need if she could; and her door was always open. She enjoyed keeping in touch with family and friends, listening to her country music, watching her favorite TV shows (especially "Maury") and reading the newspaper.

She was predeceased by her parents, Rufus and Isabel (Jackson) Sonier; siblings, Emma "DeeDee", Mildred "Toot", Milton, Lois, Charles "Buck" and John Marvin; her only son Walter "Mike"; and grandson Chris (whom she cherished). She is survived by daughters, Marion "Tootsie", Nancy, Frances, and Madolyn. She is also survived by several granddaughters including Jennifer whom she called "sweetie"; one grandson Peter; and eight great-grandchildren.

Services are still yet to be determined.
