Anita M. Ferguson

Anita M. Ferguson, 66, of St. Joseph, went home to be with her Heavenly Father on Friday, July 18, 2025. She was born in Twin Falls, Idaho on August 26, 1958, the daughter of L.Z. and Lamonne Reece.

Anita was a devoted mother and grandmother, known for her deep love for her family. She cherished her daughters and found immense happiness in spending time with her grandchildren. Her caring spirit extended beyond her family, as she often dedicated her time to volunteering and spreading the love of Jesus through her giving. In her spare time, Anita found joy in walking in nature and traveling to the beach.

She leaves behind a legacy defined by her warmth, kindness, and generosity.

Anita is survived by her daughters, Darcelina (Javier) Zenil Pena, Kawaiya (Thomas) Stearly; grandchildren, Camilo, Jazive, Rhett, Melina, Wells, and Kade; and siblings, Danny, Kathy, and Terry; and her cat, Bean, all of whom will carry her memory forward in their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her loving parents in Heaven.

A visitation will be held on Friday, July 25, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, at Sunset Funeral Home & Cremation Center Mahomet Chapel, located at 1102 Churchill Rd, Mahomet, Illinois. A Funeral Service to honor Anita’s life will be held immediately following visitation at 2:00 PM. Anita will be laid to rest at Grandview Memorial Gardens in Champaign.

Anita M. Ferguson will be deeply missed, but her vibrant spirit will remain alive in the hearts of all who knew her. We find peace in knowing that she is dancing among the angels with the Lord.
