She died in her home surrounded by loving family and her devoted husband of 61 years. Mary Kay was born in Rosedale, Kansas on April 8, 1930, and was the adopted daughter of James and Catherine Feran. She spent her childhood years in Kansas, met the love of her life at a Christmas party in December of 1953 and was married the following June. She took great joy in being a wife, mother, grandmother, friend, person of faith, and homemaker. She taught all who knew her how to live life with dignity and grace through all trials.
