Summary
Family posts reported that Mary Anne Palmer Ferguson died on March 18, 2015. They later announced a May 23 funeral Mass at Holy Cross Church and burial at Holy Cross Cemetery, correcting the Mass time to 3 p.m. The existing cemetery record independently gives her lifespan as 1951–2015.
Evidence limits
The death date and funeral chronology come from family posts in the forum. They are stronger than anonymous discussion but remain family testimony rather than a held civil record or independent obituary; private addresses and other personal details are omitted.
