Theresa Ferguson

Theresa Ferguson, who lived in Broadalbin all of her life, passed away on June 20, 2026. She was born on February 20, 1934, on her parents’ family farmstead in the town of Broadalbin. Growing up on the farm shaped her into a woman who loved nature, family, and friends. Theresa fell in love with Alfred Ferguson, who soon after joined the US Army and was stationed in Korea. During this time, they wrote to each other every day and Theresa treasured and kept all of Al’s letters. They were married for 68 wonderful years before he died in 2023. After graduating from Broadalbin High School, she started her career at General Electric before becoming the bookkeeper for Ferguson and Prokop Trucking and Excavating. Theresa and Alfred traveled all over the United States and visited many countries including Denmark, Poland, South Korea, and Panama. They loved spending winters in Florida, where they organized many talent shows and gatherings. In Alfred’s later years, Theresa became his full-time caregiver until he passed away in 2023. She was a dedicated member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Broadalbin. She volunteered as a Bereavement counselor, was a former member of the Rosary and Catholic Daughters, and spent years volunteering at the church thrift store, along with lovingly maintaining the church gardens. She also enjoyed baking cakes for the annual church festival. Theresa was always busy, enjoying a variety of activities. One of her favorite things was attending the sporting events of her grandchildren. She also participated in lunch outings, trips with the Galway Seniors, attended Galway Historic Society meetings, researched, and helped place a historic marker at the one-room schoolhouse she attended on Old State Road until the sixth grade. She had a natural talent for storytelling and put on many family skits over the years. Theresa had a wonderful way of making others feel special and loved, giving of herself in so many beautiful ways. She was fun to be with and always had a plan for her next adventure. May she rest in peace after a life well lived. Theresa is remembered by her brothers, Joseph (Maryann) Bogdan and Edward Bogdan; her four children, Lorraine Ferguson, Janice (Mark) Durant, Myron (Linda) Ferguson, and Kevin (Mandy) Ferguson; eight grandchildren Amber Mathias, Brandon, Christopher, and Justin Ferguson, Lianna Watson, Tyler, Lindsay, and Nickolas Gileski; eight great-grandchildren, Colin and Katlyn Mathias, Karson, Elion, Maya, Lyle, and Morgan Ferguson, and Lucy Watson; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
