Fern graduated from high school in Claremont, New Hampshire.

She had certificates as a Psychiatric Tech and a Medical Assistant. She worked for and retired from the state of Vermont.

She was very dedicated to her family and loved to do everything that she could for them. She was fiercely independent and had a hard time letting others do for her.

Fern had a very strong testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was not afraid to share her testimony. She was non-judgmental and liked to be able to have friends and family of all faiths and beliefs. She was able to bear her testimony and give parting words of advice, encouragement and love to all who were able to visit or call during her last few days.

She can now see and hear perfectly and is out of pain and is moving again.

She will be missed.

'Till we meet again Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma!

Fern requested that there be no funeral, therefore there will only be a small family viewing before we go up to the cemetery and have a prayer and dedication of the grave before internment at the Firth Cemetery in Firth, Idaho.
