Virginian-Pilot December 2, 2012
Virginia Beach - Virginia Cooke Glennan Ferguson, 96, died November 30, 2012. 
Her husband, Harley Bascom Ferguson Jr. and her stepson, Harley Bascom Ferguson 
III, preceded her in death. She was the daughter of the late Edward Keville 
Glennan and Virginia Cooke Glennan of Norfolk. She is survived by her three 
beloved stepchildren, Molly Ferguson Pulliam and her husband Edward of 
Alexandria, VA, James Willson Ferguson and Marion Burnam Ferguson of Richmond, 
KY; two step-grandchildren, Abigail Ferguson Pensky and Harley Bascom Ferguson 
IV, and by her seven step-great-grandchildren. Mrs. Ferguson leaves a legacy of 
a work ethic, a savings ethic and a positive outlook towards life, which enabled 
her to give generously both to charities in the community and to individuals in 
need. She devoted over 4,000 hours volunteering in the Emergency Room at 
Virginia Beach General Hospital during the 1960's and 1970's. She was a very 
spiritual person and with a smile she used to say, "I put my faith in three 
things: the Lord, Scotch whisky and duct tape. If one of them won't fix it, the 
others will." Mrs. Ferguson was a member of Galilee Episcopal Church. She was a 
member of the Junior League of Norfolk-Virginia Beach and the Virginia Beach 
Garden Club. She was a former board member of The Old Coast Guard Station, Sugar 
Plum Bakery, Eastern Virginia Medical School Foundation, and Westminster-
Canterbury Foundation. She was a founding member of the Virginia Beach 
Foundation. She established both the Westminster Canterbury Professorship and 
the Glennan Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology at Eastern Virginia Medical 
School. Burial in Elmwood Cemetery will be private. A memorial service will be 
held at Galilee Episcopal Church at noon on Thursday, December 6. Memorial 
donations may be made to any of the above organizations or the Virginia Beach 
Rescue Squad. H.D. Oliver Funeral Apartments is handling arrangements.
