Paula Sue Ferguson
Paula Sue Ferguson, 58, of Ashland, formerly of Portsmouth, Ohio, beloved wife of Jeffrey Ferguson, went to be with the Lord on Friday, Feb. 6, 2009, in Community Hospice Care Center in Ashland.
She was the daughter of the late Paul Queen and Elizabeth Queen Kielmar. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her father-in-law, Lowell Ferguson.
Paula was a remarkable nurse for 24 years and had a special place in her heart for each and every patient. She was a very active member of First United Methodist Church for 29 years. During that time, she made many loving and kind friends. Paula was also a dedicated member of the Ashland Area Emmaus Community.
In addition to being a loving wife, she was also a wonderful mother of three children, Susan Tygart and her husband, Jeff, of Ashland, David Warner of Ashland and Julia Ferguson of Lexington. She was the proud grandmother of 11 grandchildren, Amanda Ashby, Brandon Tygart, Cierra Tygart, Tiffani Tygart, Alexis Tygart, Alyssa Tygart, Zachary Newman, Justin McDowell, Trent Warner, Nikki Warner and McKenzie Warner, all of whom she loved very much. Paula is also survived by her mother-in-law, Emma Slone Ferguson; her sister-in-law, Stephanie Ferguson Pentiuk and her husband, Larry, of Lancaster, Ohio; two nephews, Dr. Scott Pentiuk and his wife, Brynn, of Hebron and Matthew Pentiuk of Columbus; a niece, Betsy Pentiuk Sabo and her husband, Derek, of Mount Vernon, Ohio; and their wonderful baby boy, Dax.
She is now with her King and with loved ones who went before her. She will be sadly missed by all.
