Lepa Ferris
In her 90th year,
formerly of Ajax, Ontario,
died peacefully at Hallowell House Nursing Home
in Picton, Ontario, on Tuesday, July 12, 2011.

She is survived by her loving son, Fred Z. Ferris, and his wife Keltie of Virginia, 3 grandchildren: Sonja Florman, Charles Ferris, and Keltie Ferris, 3 great-grandchildren: Ferris, Henry and Lola Florman, and a niece and nephew, Hrvoje and Gordana Perkovic of Croatia. 

Her family is grateful for the exceptionally loving and attentive care she received from the staff at The Carriage House, a retirement home in Cherry Valley where she resided for the past 7 years:  Richard Diamond, Jane Crump, Barbara Smith, Faith Wiik, as well as from her physician, Dr. Norah Connell.
