Jenna K. Ferguson

It is with a broken heart that we share with our family and friends the passing away of our Jenna Kristina Ferguson. Jenna passed away on July 10, 2015 in Seattle, Washington. She was her mama’s Peaches, her sibling’s Sissy our Nenna Susan and Beauty. She was our sis, our joy and our song. Jenna was born to Heather Lynn Mitchell and the late Jon Wade Ferguson on April 28, 1992 at 8:12 in the morning in Provo, Utah on a record hot day.

Her first love was Wesley Southworth and together they blessed us with our spunky little Lily. She later fell in love with Travis Blurton and together they blessed us with our gregarious little Max. Jenna loved and adored her children and made painful sacrifices to assure their future.

Jenna was raised in Santaquin & Salem, Utah and graduated from Legacy High School. Jenna had a great love of music, animals and the outdoors. She spent many days sitting outside, playing her guitar, cello or just listening to music. She had a unique artistic ability, wrote beautiful poetry and loved to read. She had a contagious smile and loved to make people laugh. She was an avid complainer and would choose flip flops over shoes in the middle of a blizzard. She refused to wear ugly clothes and always kept her sense of style no matter the consequences. She could only cook grandma’s spaghetti, but rocked a hot-pocket and survived on Doritos. She was a beautiful girl with a loving heart.

She leaves behind two children, Lily Southworth and Max Headman; Mother, Heather (Mike) Mitchell; Brothers, Shelby and Jarek Ferguson; Sisters, Ashton Shepherd, Daynaira, Cameron, Jacquilyn Ferguson and Emily Mitchell; Niece, Sierra Ferguson; Grandparents, Kristina and Staffan Johnsson; Great-grandmother, Norma Purvance; and Soulmate, Travis Dean Blurton.

Jenna was so much more than her disease of addiction. She fought so hard. Our whole family joined together to support Jenna in her fight against this horrible disease. Jenna’s loved ones ask that if you too have someone fighting addiction, to help spread awareness and be supportive through their everyday struggles. This is the story we would like to be told. We would like Jenna’s story to continue in awareness and support for others as she herself so often did.

A Rosary will be held for Jenna on Thursday, August 6, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. followed by a Funeral Mass at 11:00 a.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 65 East 500 North, Orem, Utah. Interment will follow at Salem City Cemetery. Condolences may be extended to the family at www.bergmortuary.com.
