David R. Ferro, Sr. and Joyce L.
Ferro Both David and Joyce were together holding hands in the Hospice House
as they passed through the gate of Heaven. David first followed by Joyce
three days later. This was truly God’s plan all along after being married 73
years and falling in love at the ages of 12 and 13. Graveside funeral rites
will be held on Friday, January 17, 2020 at 1:00pm at High Lawn Memorial

loving homemaker. David, Joyce, Davey and Donna were baptized as a family
sixty years ago at the Westmoreland United Methodist Church. Their devotion
to church and family thorough many activities and regular attendance touched
