March 26, 1932 — December 6, 2020
On Sunday, December 6, 2020, Rosemary Key Ivey Miller Ferguson passed away peacefully at her home in Olden, Texas at the age of 88.
Rosemary was born on March 26, 1932 in Amarillo, TX to Edward and Lorene Key Ivey. The family moved from Amarillo to Reagan Valley, a rural area north of Eastland, in 1949.
On June 1, 1951 Rosemary married Morris Haden Miller from Morton Valley, Texas and they moved to Odessa Texas and became parents of two sons and a daughter. In 1964 the family moved to Morton Valley after Morris was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Rosemary worked for Drs.

Rosemary married Harold Loyd (Hoot) Ferguson in 1975 and they moved to Olden, Texas where Rosemary continued to reside up to the present. Rosemary was an active member of the Olden Baptist Church. She was a member of the Olden Extension Homemakers club and loved working with kids in the area 4-H clubs.
Rosemary loved land and being outdoors. She was a prolific gardener and harvested and canned many of her own fruits and vegetables. She enjoyed raising cattle and spending time on the farm. Probably most of all she loved her family and friends.
