She was a graduate of Fairfax Public School and worked at the Allendale County Hospital, retiring after thirty-eight years of service.

Another favorite hobby was her passion for "gardening." Mother Ferguson was a deaconess, and she was also a member of Fidelity Chapter #40 OES, Allendale, South Carolina. In addition, to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of fifty-two years, Judge Rufus E. Ferguson and her only sister Virginia Williams.
On Sunday, August 4, 2019, God said, "Well Done thy good and faithful Servant, you have fought a good fight, you have finished the race and have kept the faith. Come on home my child and take your rest."
