MAXINE FERGUSON

THREE SPRINGS – Maxine Ferguson, age 94, Metcalfe County, passed away Sunday morning, January 5, 2020, at T. J. Samson Community Hospital with her family at her side.

 

Maxine was born in Metcalfe County on March 1, 1925, to two godly parents, Lester Atwell and Carrie Trowbridge Atwell. She attended Western Kentucky University and went on to teach in Savoyard in a one-room school. After teaching, she stayed home to raise her children. In 1967, she began working for T. J. Sampson and retired there in 1990 as a CNA. She enjoyed her work and her friends at the hospital. Maxine loved to sew and will be laid to rest in a dress that she made. Having received Christ as a young girl, the most important thing to her was what she called “His everyday presence.” She lived her life loving and living for the Lord.
