Mom passed away in the early hours of Friday, August 21st, at home, with loved ones by her side.
I will take comfort in knowing that we did well by her.
Fern Alberta Peterson was granted her angel wings on August 21, 2009. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Fern had touched throughout her life. Special thanks to her sister, Thelma, for her wisdom and guidance.
Fern’s life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her beautiful smile and quick wit brought so much joy to our family.
Fern was predeceased by her father, Lawrence Albert, her mother, Dorothy Anne, her brother, Milton, and her sisters, May and Shirley. She is survived by her sister, Thelma, and her brother, Lloyd.
Left to carry on Fern’s loving legacy are her husband, Les, her seven children: Cherrie, Andy (Sharmon), Larry, Dan (Pearl), Rhonda (George), Donna (Barry) and James (Jocelyn). She will be lovingly remembered by so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and nieces & nephews.
Fern will be forever loved and missed by her childhood sweetheart, Joseph.

Donna, thank you for sharing this; I can't imagine how difficult it was. I am so sad for you all, but am glad that Auntie was surrounded by all her children. I remember her fondly.
My sympathies and love to you.

It really saddens me that my Favorite Aunt is gone, I pray for you all
Fern we are saddened by the news of your passing and we will forever remember your smile, your humor and your generosity.
Besides being a very special friend to many people you also gave sweetest, joy and pleasure as a wife, as a mother as a grandmother and as a very special companion.
But for Gisele and myself as we gaze upon the twinkling stars of heaven we will always remember you as a lady. We embrace your memory............Pierre and Gisele
