Her obituary from the Nipawin Journal in October of 2013:

FERGUSON, Goldie - passed away on October 19, 2013, at the age of 97. She was the third of seven children born to William and Nellie McKibbin, born July 10, 1916 in Dina Alberta as her family travelled towards Saskatchewan from Oregon. The family lived for a short while in Nipawin where Goldie started school. When the family moved to their homestead she and her brothers began school at Cherry Ridge, which was then known as White Fox. It was a rugged life, with cold walks to school during a time when money was short and the food supply was low. However, even with the hardships, she spoke fondly of that time in her life. Goldie married Colin Ferguson on December 21, 1937 and they settled in their own home in Cherry Ridge, near Colin’s family and only a short distance from her own. It was wonderful to raise small children so near their grandparents and the children had special relationships with both Grandma & Grandad McKibbin, and Granny & Grandpa Ferguson. Six children were born to Goldie and Colin, all girls. They were and are still referred to as “The Ferguson Girls”. In 1955, Goldie and Colin bought the house that had belonged to her parents and they moved to town. Goldie worked at a number of places and in time became known as “The perfect pie maker”; just recently the family was told that Goldie made the best Flapper Pie ever! She worked with the Mooney family at the burger bar and the snack bar at the service station and worked the concession in the rink. She also worked for Vi Thompson at the Dew Drop Inn, making pies and waiting on customers. Goldie did a lot of work with her sewing machine, both for necessity and hobby. She was often busy making quilts. The family is proud to possess a number of the hand sewn and quilted blankets she made and there are people around town who received quilts as a wedding gift. She was a member of the senior’s quilting group and enjoyed this until failing eyesight caused her to quit. The quilting ladies were all special friends and she enjoyed her time with them. She was very proud to have been a part of producing “The Largest Quilt in the world”. Goldie lived in her own home until she moved to Jubilee Place where she lived for a year. She enjoyed her time there and she made special friends. She then moved to Pineview Lodge where she lived for the past five years. The family would like to thank the dedicated staff at Pineview Lodge for the loving care that was given to Goldie during her time there. Goldie is predeceased by two brothers in infancy, her parents, her husband Colin, and three daughters Elaine Dale (March-Sept. 1951), Janet Coleen (1943-1948) and Jennifer Paton (1944-2010); brothers Lawrence (Lil), Howard (Alice), Walter (Edie) and sister Florence Arnst. Goldie is lovingly remembered by her family: Shirley (Duane) Muri of Wynyard, SK (Jim and Heather);Pat (Ken) Meek of Medicine Hat, AB (Stuart, Sheelagh, Sean and Melissa); Carol Ferguson of Rabbit Lake, SK (Tricia); and Jennifer’s children, Teresa (Chris Thompson) of Sorrento, BC & Greg Paton of Edmonton, AB; brother-in-law Arthur Arnst of Melfort, SK; 9 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, 7 great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. She is also remembered by Ken’s children Sheryl and Todd. A Celebration of Life was held on November 7th at Heritage Funeral Home.
