Vera Virginia Ferguson

Vera Virginia Ferguson, 85, of Richland, passed away Friday, August 25, 2006, at Kadlec Medical Center.

Vera was born April 25, 1921, in Wenatchee, WA, the seventh of eight children, to Mont and Flora Gardner Caudill. She graduated from Wenatchee High School in 1941.

She married Eldene Madison Ferguson in 1944 in Seattle, WA. They raised their three children, Jeff, Alex and Kris in Wenatchee before moving to the Tri-Cities in 1976, where Vera worked at a local Dry Cleaner's.

Vera had many passions during her lifetime, including painting, gardening and meeting with her weekly coffee group on Tuesdays. Her true joy came from watching her two grandchildren, Kyra and David, grow up. She will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother and dear friend. She has truly left a legacy in this world, touching countless lives as an inspiration, a confidant and strength for those who needed it. Her unconditional love and enthusiasm for life will not be forgotten.

She is survived by three children, Jeffrey Paul Ferguson of Cathedral City, CA, Alex Ann Roeder of Kennewick, WA, and Kris Yvette Freeman of Pennington, TX; brother, Russell Caudill of Seattle, WA; grandchildren, Kyra Madison Ferguson Woodworth of Seattle, WA and David Christopher Roeder of Kennewick, W A; and many nieces, nephews, and other extended family.

She was preceded in death by her parents; six older brothers and sisters; and her husband, Eldene Madison Ferguson.

A memorial service will be held Friday, September 1, 2006, at 11 a.m. at the Parish of the Holy Spirit, 7409 W Clearwater Ave. Kennewick, WA.

The family would like to thank the staff and residents of Guardian Angel Homes in Richland, WA not only for their loving care and support, but also for providing Vera with a joyful and fulfilling life until the end.

  • My Dear Vera, I am bless for having known you. Your courage and humility are an inspiration. I will miss our talks and our laughs. I will miss the grandmothering advise from a champion to a new-bee. “they can never be spoiled” I will miss your insight and willingness to fill the world with your unconditional love. I will miss you so, my friend.

  • Vera was a lady of style. She always wanted to see my new earrings. She will surely be missed at GAH.Every morning she would be found sitting at the counter, sipping coffee, reading the paper and greeting everyone with a “Good morning” and an honest “How are you?” Our last conversation was about which retail store had the newest styles of earrings on sale.She was a friend to everyone and made rounds in all the houses daily to check on everyone. We love you VERA!
