Angeline "Ann" (Fabrygel) Ferguson

Angeline “Ann” Fabrygel Ferguson was born in Markham, Texas on June 13, 1933 and passed away on September 22, 2022 in Missouri City, Texas, at the age of 89, after a long illness. She is survived by her children: Melissa (George Lambright) Ferguson, M.D., of Kerrville, Texas; Denise (Greg) Yennior, of Richmond, Tx; and Chris (Donna Kennedy) Kuban of Fredericksburg, Tx; and grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Dustin (Bridget Hensley) Ferguson and sons, Derek and Jason; Amanda (fiancé Kevin Perez) Koone and daughters, Madelyn Medve and Collyns Koone; Sean (Jenna) Ferguson and sons, Emmett and Warren; Natalie (Taylor) Lane and children, Harper and Cooper; Nathan (Rachel) and sons Alexander and Theodore: and Tommy (Chelsea) Kuban. She is also survived by a sister-in-law Ora Lee Preuss and six siblings: Chris, Daniel and Larry Fabrygel; Mildred Pustejovsky; Gayle Brinkman; and Barbara Keszler. She is preceded in death by her husband, H.V., her son, H.V. “Bubba” Ferguson; parents, Emily and Christian Fabrygel and her siblings: Louis, Emil, Tina, Franklin, Joe Henry and Jerry Fabrygel; Georgia Natho and Evelyn “Evie” Divin; and her companion, Albert Pavlock. Our mother attended Lamar High School and initially worked as a practical nurse. She later began working at Texas Instruments and eventually retired from there. Afterward, she and her husband, H.V. became caretakers of an intellectually/developmentally disabled woman until they both retired at the age of 69 years. Our mother loved Monet’s paintings, Neil Diamond’s voice and satsumas from her carefully tended tree, but, above all, she loved her family. Her favorite season was fall so we were not surprised when she passed away on the autumn equinox. She loved to read. Her favorite poem was “Evangeline” by Longfellow. She had a beautiful singing voice. She was a talented seamstress. When we were young she sewed clothes for our Barbie dolls, including beautiful, beaded wedding gowns. She loved when her family gathered in her home during holidays. She was an excellent cook and some of our favorite meals were a Czech sauerkraut dish, turkey and cornbread dressing, chicken and dumplings and, for dessert, kolaches. She was very proud of her Czech heritage. Her native language was Czech and she learned to speak English in elementary school. After she retired, she enjoyed journaling, playing word search games, and she never missed an episode of Jeopardy or Judge Judy. She was a member of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Damon where she and her husband lived for most of their lives together. She worshiped our Lord and was devoted to the Blessed Mother. Her favorite saint was Anthony of Padua. She loved reminding us that his feast day fell on her birthday. Our family owes a debt of gratitude to our sister Denise and her husband Greg who live in the area. She was our mother’s primary caretaker for the last few years. The family also wishes to thank mother’s caregiver, Teresa Vincik, sitter, Elainee Heiman, and the nursing staff at Park Manor Quail Valley. A Celebration of our mother’s life will be held at Davis Greenlawn Funeral Home at 10:00AM on October 22, 2022 with interment following at the Catholic Cemetery in Damon, Texas. In lieu of flowers donations in her memory may be sent to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
