Ferguson, Elwood Eldridge

Elwood Eldridge Ferguson, 83, of Rocky Mount, Va., went home to be with the Lord Jesus on Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Those left to cherish his memories are his wife, Doris Brooks Ferguson; his three children, Brenda Ferguson Scott, Pamela Ferguson Jennings, Timmie Elwood Ferguson; and two grandchildren, Jeffrey Elliott Scott and Lance K. Ferguson; also his adopted son. Elwood has left three living sisters, Carrie Ferguson Powell, Frances Ferguson Plybon, and Garnett Ferguson Robertson.

He was born in Union Hall, Va. on June 5, 1925. He was employed by DuPont for over 35 years. In his life, he was a loving husband to his wife for over 63 years and an example of generosity to his children, grandchildren and all those he knew. He served the Lord and others by working in the church and by growing a garden large enough to share with everyone. Being able to share his faith, garden and wonderful sense of humor with others brought him unspeakable joy. He was an inspiration to all who came in contact with him during his courageous battle through many ailments within the last three years. Even in his darkest hours, he was filled with grace; he was not concerned for himself, but for others. Just as the parable in the Holy Bible states that the first shall be last and the last shall be first, perhaps his willingness to be last is the reason that he was chosen to be the first in his immediate family to see Jesus.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2009, between the hours of 5 and 8 p.m. The funeral will also be held at the church on the following day, Sunday, January 18, 2009, at 2 p.m. For those who wish to send flowers, they can be received at Flora Funeral Home in Rocky Mount, Va.

Mrs. Patteson graduated from John Marshall High School and attended Westhampton College of the University of Richmond.

A victim of polio as a child, she served as a board member of the Crippled Children's Hospital. Completely paralyzed and at times in a coma at the age of nine, her road to complete recovery was an inspiration to recovering children. Her Irvington causes included serving as chairperson of the Historic Christ Church Volunteer organization and as a prolific fundraiser for Historic Christ Church. She was a board member of the Rappahannock Westminster- Canterbury Foundation, the Lancaster County Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Northern Neck Chapter of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.
