Marilyn Grey Ferrie died unexpectedly on Friday, April 12, 2013 surrounded by friends and family. Born in Montclair, NJ, she was a longtime resident of New Vernon, NJ. She was a graduate of the University of Rhode Island and a proud member of Tri Delta Sorority. She served as Executive Director of the Gladstone Equestrian Association and Show Manager of the 2001 Gala Event. She was a Whipper-In with the Spring Valley Hounds. Her volunteering efforts included the Bonnie Brae Polo Classic, the Far Hills Race Meeting Association and St. Hubert's. Ms. Ferrie also raised, trained and showed English Springer Spaniels and was seldom seen without a black & white by her side. She is survived by her son, Todd C. Ferrie (Jennifer) of Chatham, NJ; daughter, Lora J. Ferrie (Charanjit Buttar) of New York City; sister, Kate Curley (Ed) of Punta Gorda, FL, and granddaughter, Cameron P. Ferrie who brought her great joy.
Lynn's death last April took us all by surprise. I had been fortunate enough to have reunited with her 6-7 years ago and kept in personal touch by phone and occasional visits. Her humor was witty and contagious. She loved to laugh and poke fun at life. She was loved by so many.
While attending her Celebration of Life gathering last Spring, I heard so many stories of her loving commitment to family and friends, her custom of finding and giving each one of us exactly what we didn't know we wanted, but when given, gave immeserable delight.
Lynn greatly loved her children and grand daughter Cameron. Our conversations always included Cameron's latest conquests and activities.
Lynn's son Todd and daughter in law Jennifer, are expecting their second child this summer. She would have spent the entire reunion showing pictures of her children and dogs.
I miss her, miss her, miss her. She would have loved to be prsent this next Oct. She as well as our other classmates who have died will be with us in spirit for sure.
We bought our beloved springer, Jodi, from Lynn's family. When we left to looks at the puppies, my mother said "dont' come back with a dog" so, of course, we did. Jodi was a beautiful dog that my mother neded up having to take care of when everyone in the family moved away.
