Shirley Ann Ferguson, a beloved child of God, whose earthly journey began on November 20th, 1949, and who was called home to eternal rest.
Shirley was a woman whose life was a testament to unwavering faith and boundless love. She walked daily in the light of her Savior, Jesus Christ, and her devotion to Him was the cornerstone of her existence. As a faithful member of Ino Baptist Church, she found strength and community in her relationship with her fellow believers.
Shirley was preceded in death by her father, Fred Land, her mother, Mary Land, her brother, Stanley Land, her sister Frieda Land, her daughter, Shannon Stocstill, and her son, Tyler Ferguson. While we mourn their absence, we find comfort in knowing they are reunited in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father.
She leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion, carried on by her devoted husband of 45 years, Steve Ferguson. Her love lives on through her brother Leroy Land, her daughter, Selina Stocstill, her daughter, Charee Trammell, and her son, Chris Ferguson. Her memory is cherished by her grandchildren: Dylan Ferguson, Karlee Price, Kyle Ferguson, Katie Pittman, Alexa Thomas, and Carter Hearold. And her love continues to blossom in her great-grandchildren: Reighlynn Ferguson, Logan Thomas, Aiden Pittman, and Oliver Pittman.
Shirley was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
She touched the lives of all who knew her with her gentle spirit and unwavering kindness. Her life was a reflection of Christ’s love, and she will be remembered for her unwavering faith and her servant’s heart.
Though we grieve her passing, we rejoice in the knowledge that she is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior. May her memory be a blessing, and may we all strive to live as she did, with faith, love, and devotion to God.
“For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” – Romans 14:8

Alberto Hugh Asyn Jr., a cherished husband, father, and friend, passed away on March 26, 2025, at Southeast Health, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on January 10, 1957, in Panama, Alberto’s laughter and kind spirit brought joy to all who knew him throughout his 68 years of life.

A sister, Taffy Asyn. Three brothers, William, Theodore and Terrance Asyn. Two grandchildren, Paulina Asyn and Silas Kai Asyn.
For 24 years, Alberto was a respected figure in the poultry industry, dedicating his career to Wayne Farms. His colleagues knew him as a hard worker who could always be counted on to lighten the mood with a well-timed joke or a funny story. His commitment to his work was matched only by his commitment to his faith and community as a member of St. Columba Catholic Church.
Alberto’s interests extended beyond his professional life. He celebrated 25 years of marriage with the love of his life, Helena, and together they built a family founded on laughter and mutual respect. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he instilled in them the values of hard work, compassion, and the importance of family. He had a knack for making others laugh, and his sense of humor was one of his most memorable traits.
Those who knew Alberto will remember him as a funny and kind man who could brighten the darkest of days with his smile. His presence was a gift to all who had the pleasure of knowing him, and his memory will continue to inspire laughter and love in the hearts of his family and friends.
As we say goodbye to Alberto, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of joy, love, and an unshakeable faith in the goodness of people. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the stories he told, the lives he touched, and the family he adored.
