Mary Ferguson

Mary Ferguson, 77, of Auburn, Alabama, passed away peacefully on May 7th leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and compassion. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jimmy Ferguson, with whom she shared 40 years of marriage. She is survived by her loving children, Jim Ferguson and his wife Lee of Plano, Texas and Mary Huddleston and her Husband Patrick of Auburn, Alabama. 

Mary was born in Mason, Ohio, and later moved to Falkville, Alabama, where she raised her family for over 30 years. Those years in North Alabama were among her happiest, filled with the joy of family gatherings and the simple pleasures of life. She loved her husband and two children deeply and was proud to add their spouses to her family – welcoming Lee and Patrick and loving them like children of her own.  Regular talks with her sister (Donna Johnson) and brother (Joe Martin) were a treasured pastime that helped transcend the miles between them.  

Mary had a successful career as a medical insurance coder before her retirement. She spent the latter part of her retirement in Auburn, Alabama, where she lived for nearly 15 years, becoming a parishioner at St. Michael's Catholic Church. She cherished the fellowship of her church community and the friendships she made there.

Mary had a kind heart and a big sense of humor. She loved meeting new people and had a gift for making people feel loved and appreciated. Her ability to bring laughter into any situation was a testament to her joyous spirit.

Her passing leaves a void, but her family rejoices in knowing she is united with her loving husband.

A mass will be held at St. Michael’s Catholic Church on July 16th followed by a celebration of life. Details of the service will be provided at a later date.
