Obituary of Jessie Callonder Feriancek

1928 - 2011

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jessie Feriancek, our dear mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend on Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at 83 years of age.

Jessie was born in Invermere, British Columbia on Mach 14, 1928. She grew up there and was married to William Fry on May 10, 1947. They had two children, Ruby and Billy.

Widowed, just before Billy was born, Jessie worked hard to support her young family. She worked for many years in the Christmas tree industry and at the sawmill in Radium Hot Springs, as well as at various other jobs. Later, Jessie married John Feriancek and they moved away for a period of time.

In 2006 Jessie moved to Cranbrook to live with her daughter Ruby where she resided until her passing.

Jessie is survived by her daughter Ruby Smith, her son Bill (Colleen) Fry, four grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and her special cat "Lucky Lou". Jessie is predeceased by her parents, her brother, two sisters, her first husband William and her second husband John.

A graveside service for Jessie will be held at the Windermere Cemetery at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, August 30, 2011. A memorial tea will follow at the Invermere Legion. In lieu of flowers, donations in honour of Jessie may be made to the SPCA of the charity of your choice.

 

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
