Fern was born on April 7, 1922, in Fairmont Minnesota. She grew up during the Great Depression and this influenced her outlook on life. Fern graduated from high school, where she met her future husband Donald; after graduating from high school Fern worked as a secretary for a manufacturing company in Fairmont. At the age of 21 she moved to El Paso, Texas, to marry Donald, who had enlisted in the Army and was stationed in El Paso. After WWII they relocated to Minnesota and began their family.

They moved to Cincinnati in 1955 when Donald was transferred. After Donald’s early death in 1977 Fern worked at Graeters, Square D Corp., and Providence Hospital as a secretary. She was very independent and because to the careful way she managed her finances, was able to provide for herself until her death. Fern did not worry about the past; she always looked forward with a positive attitude. She had a ready smile for everyone she met. She will be missed.
