Fern was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. Her career started as a music teacher. She met and married Frank and later started a family. She was an accomplished seamstress and excelled in her cooking skills, especially apple pie. She fulfilled her role of Mom in every sense of the word.

As a faithful daughter, her family visited her parents on the farm every month, every year. This exposed her kids to life on the farm which proved to be an invaluable experience for all. As a member of Swope Park Baptist Church, she was involved in the construction project and migration to the new Grace Point Baptist Church as well as pianist for her Sunday School department.

The family suggests memorial contributions be made to Grace Point Baptist Church, 10415 Chestnut Drive, Kansas City, MO 64137.
