Mother Ferry became a widow at the age of 50. She didn't like living alone. Nona writes in her book "Green Shamrocks to Golden Poppies," p. 165 . . .

My mother [Mother Ferry], with her kind heart and easygoing manner, was always welcomed into each of her children's homes. She became an important part of our families. She certainly played a central role in my family. We loved having her in our home.
