Joyce Ferrie

02/14/1944 - 08/10/2026

On behalf of our extended family and loved ones, Rick and Tracy Ferrie are saddened to announce the death of our amazing mother, Joyce Ferrie, at age 82. She passed away peacefully on Monday, August 10, 2026, in Lexington, Kentucky, after succumbing to a number of illnesses. She was surrounded by family at the end, who wished her a tearful goodbye. Aside from Rick and Tracy and our late sister Vicky, she is survived by her brother, Tom McBroom, and a whole crew of nieces and grandchildren.

We appreciate all your love, support, and patience as we mourn and regroup from our loss. Out of respect for her wishes, she will be cremated and her ashes scattered at a later date. There will be more information, and certainly much more about her incredible life, once we’re able. But we know there are many who will want to start expressing all that Joyce meant to them, and we wanted to get the news out so the celebration of an absolutely extraordinary person could begin.

Thanks to all of you for your friendship over the many years—especially all you roller skaters from the Holiday Roller Rink in Elkhart!

Rick and Tracy Ferrie
