We Remember
WILSON-FERGUSON, Janet
April 2, 1935 — September 16, 2025
Janet Wilson-Ferguson, 90, of Kelowna, passed away on September 16th after a brief battle with cancer.
Janet was born on April 2, 1935 to Alexander and Elizabeth Thomson in Glasgow, Scotland. After immigrating to Canada in 1952 she began working in the family Nursing Home which was started by her parents. Soon after, Janet met and married William Wilson and started their family. Janet and William were blessed with 4 children. Together they ventured out on their own, following in her parent’s footsteps and Janet started her own Nursing Home.
In 1977 Janet and her family made the move to Kelowna, BC where she purchased Sun Valley Nursing Home. Janet spent her years dedicated to supporting seniors and never stopped building on her dreams. Her passion to serve the community moved her to expand the business, which became what was known as Windsor Manor. In 2000 Janet was ready for her next challenge and with her sights always set on helping more, she built Fernbrae Manor. She dedicated her life to helping others and ensuring Seniors always had a safe place to call home.
Janet was predeceased by her parents Alexander and Elizebeth Thomson, her husband William Wilson, and her brother Bob Thomson. She is survived by her husband Bill Ferguson; her brother Alex (Jean); and her children, Anne (Dan) Parkins, Bill (Lorna) Wilson, Jim (Sandie) Wilson, and Rob (Lynnette) Wilson; 10 grandchildren and their spouses; many great-grandchildren; stepchildren Linda (Murray) Dore, Ken (Lisa) Ferguson, and Patti (Thorne) Sutherland; 6 step-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

Wayne and I are so sorry to lose Janet (and Bill) from our community at Sandalwood. She was an active leading member of our knitting and crochet group, joined us in Wii bowling and we often had dinner with her and Bill. She will be missed by all of us here.
