On May 5, 2017, our Lord called home, Barbara (Wilson) Ferguson of Chepachet, where she was given the ultimate care from her daughter and son-in-law. She had lived in Johnston for sixty years.

She was the cherished mother of Thomas Ferguson and his wife Lori and Debbie Taglione and her husband Ronald Taglione. Proud grandmother of David Ferguson, John Taglione, Drew and Cole Ferguson. She was the precious Aunt of Honey Kane, Edward Grant, Evelyn Byron and several nieces and nephews. She was a dedicated and devoted friend of many at the Forand Association with whom she enjoyed spending time with including bazars, bingos, playing cards and many other events. She was employed by the Johnston School Department for twenty-six years. She was a devoted and cherished family woman, and was a kind, generous and giving member of the community. She was loved by all for her wonderful sense of humor, kind heart, and has helped many. She fought a courageous battle and never complained. She was definitely an inspiration to all of us.
