  [S5] Obituary. Obituary for Mary Rose Ferris Mary (Mitzi) Rose Ferris, daughter of Frank and Jennie (Menart) Horzen, was born on March 5, 1935 in Sheboygan, WI. She was the youngest of four children and attended St. Cyril & Methodius Grade School and graduated from St Mary?s Academy in Milwaukee in 1952. After attending business classes and working in Milwaukee, she was accepted into the United States Foreign Service. She began her work in Syria and then became secretary to the ambassador in Iraq where she met Paul Ferris from Oconto, WI who was also working for the State Department. In 1959 Mitzi married Paul in Sheboygan and for the next 11 years they lived in Cyprus, Burma, Somalia and Malaysia, and welcomed six children. In 1970 the family settled in the Coleman-Pound, Wisconsin area where they lived for the next nineteen years. In 1989 after their children had left the home, Mitzi separated from Paul and moved to the Appleton area where she began her studies and work as an occupational therapy assistant. Living across the street from her beloved St. Bernard Parish, she worked professionally at ThedaCare Hospital in Neenah and in various volunteer roles at the parish and nearby. She served as a care minister, choir member, parish funeral representative and also worked at the Salvation Army, Leaven and elsewhere helping those in need. Along the way, Mitzi was a wonderful mother and grandmother who warmed hearts with her cooking and homemaking, and was a talented seamstress who created anything her family needed out of cloth and could make a dress the night before an event. She will be dearly missed by her six children, Peter (Betty-Lou), Mark (Anita), Steve (Shannon), Luke (Priest of Green Bay Diocese), Anne (John McInally) and Jean. She also leaves behind 10 grandchildren, Rachel, Rebekah, Joseph, David, Chris (deceased), Alec, Carter, Avery, Ethan and Michael. She is also survived by two sisters, Alvina Horzen and Betty Redemann and was preceded in death by her brother Frank. Mitzi?s funeral arrangements are as follows: Vigil on Tuesday, September 4 at St. Bernard?s in Appleton at 1617 W. Pine Street, from 5:00-7:00 pm with a prayer service at 7:00 pm. Visitation on Wednesday, September 5 at St. Bernard?s, Appleton from 10:00-11:00 am. The funeral Mass is at 11:00 am with Bishop Ricken presiding and Fr. Luke preaching. There will be a luncheon immediately after the service. Burial will take place at a later date. The family would like to thank all those who shared their friendships with Mitzi, especially the gracious Affinity Hospice staff, MaKenzie and Lisa, and Mitzi?s wonderful doctor, Elizabeth Menzel. In lieu of flowers donations are being accepted by St. Bernard Parish, Appleton, or the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. Please visit www.rhodescharapata.com to leave online condolences.
