She was more than happy to be the Central Figure in the lives of her children, family, and friends. Anyone who knew them knew she was a star in their eyes, and that's all that mattered to her. She worked hard taking jobs from being a Cook spreading Cheer and great food for Residents and Staff in Long Term Care, as well as Jobs such as Construction, hanging insulation. She was a Jack of all trades. "Fern" loved Elvis. One of her many hobbies was collecting Elvis Memorabilia.

While "Fern's" family grieves her loss, they are choosing to remember "Fern" in a way that honors her spirit.
