We bid farewell to Mary S. Ferrara of River Ridge, Louisiana, born in Amite, Louisiana, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on November 5, 2025 at the age of 97. Mary touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Mary S.

In her absence, her spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
