Biography
Virginia Rogers Ferris, born in 1927, welcomed others with a radiant smile, a ready laugh, and a generous spirit that guided her through marriages, friendships, and the joyful task of raising a family. Her hospitable nature and love of gardening kept neighbors close and bridged generations, especially as she tended the spaces where memories were made in Lafayette.
Her smile and stories remain cherished by those who gathered around her kitchen table or joined her for an afternoon of fellowship, and the care with which she supported others lives on through the lives she touched. Though she passed in 2017, her warmth still lingers in the quiet corners of Tippecanoe Memory Gardens where loved ones visit her resting place.
