Ferrel, Mary Jo

MARY JO FERREL FEB. 6, 1924 - JUNE 4, 2006 Mary Jo Ferrel passed away 
on June 4, 2006 after a long and courageous battle with heart 
disease.

She is survived by her children Robert Ferrel (Cherlynn) of Turlock, 
CA, and Jean Mulligan (Paul) of Danville, CA; grandchildren Tracy 
Montez (Pete); Megan, Sara, and Amy Mulligan; Kris and Kenny Gouveia; 
great grand daughter Olivia Montez; and very dear family friend 
Virginia Grandstaff. She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 
years Carol (C.M.) Ferrel, her brother Leon Blankenship of Denair, 
and her beloved grandson Michael Paul Ferrel.

Mrs. Ferrel was born in Spiro, Oklahoma, on February 6, 1924. The 
family came to California and settled in the Denair area to farm 
peaches. She attended Keyes Elementary School, and was a graduate of 
Modesto High School. After marrying she worked many years as a court 
reporter and was highly skilled at typing and shorthand recording. 
She later obtained her real-estate license and worked in the 
Sacramento area. After retiring she worked as a volunteer at 
Sacramento area hospitals devoting much of her time assisting 
terminally ill patients. She loved to cook and always insisted on 
preparing the meals at family gatherings; she was known for her many 
candy and cookie recipes.

There will be no formal service.

Remembrances can be made to the American Heart Assoc. or the charity 
of your choice.
