She was born Friday, June 9, 1933 in Kerrobert, Saskatoon, Canada to Clifford Wilmer and Ada Mildred (Davis) Kennedy. She grew up in rural Canada, frequently traveling across the countryside by train with her father, a career railroad man. She also learned quilting and knitting, talents she would become well known for throughout her life. She was very proud of getting her nursing degree and used it to go see a little of the world.

While she was working in Honolulu, Hawaii she met her future husband Clinton Sylvester “Nick” Ferris Jr. where they started a long and adventure filled life together.

After they were married, they moved back to Wyoming and started a family, eventually moving to Colorado. She raised three children while becoming well known for her knitting and quilting talents. Her quilts were featured in numerous quilting magazines and often on display at various venues including the Colorado State Capital and as far away as Japan

At the age of 65 she became a certified scuba diver and traveled the world diving with her husband. She also became a talented photographer, winning several photography shows with her unique eye for subject matter.

She is survived by her children, Brian Ferris, Garth Ferris, Shaula Caves; grandchildren, Blake Ferris, Kerby Caves, and Kyla Pierce; and great grandchildren, Luca Pierce and Kynlee Caves.
