Fera was a skilled seamstress like her mom and made clothes for herself and for her family. She enjoyed working in her yard and on projects in her home including repairs and painting. She was talented, gifted and creative. Fera adored her granddaughters. She spent a great deal of time with them as they were growing up and loved visiting, doing crafts and baking with them.
