Audrey Ferris, 83, of Cambridge Springs passed away on November 16, 2022. Audrey was born July 22, 1939, in Meadville, the daughter of the late Julius Wargo and Albina Borkovec Wargo. She graduated from Saegertown High School in 1956 and married the late Max Ferris on November 11, 1961. Audrey worked for the Penncrest School District and was an active member of the Community Women’s Outreach Group of the Millers Station United Methodist Church. Audrey lived a full life and remained active in her favorite place, her kitchen. She would make a variety of baked goods for anyone or any cause including the United Methodist Church and Cambridge Springs Fireman’s Festival where she was very well known for her pecan and two-tone pumpkin pies. She was also known by family members for her homemade pizza, stuffed cabbage rolls, cinnamons buns and cookies, particularly her Christmas ladylocks and buckeyes. In her spare time Audrey enjoyed watching sports with her late husband, Max, especially if it was the Browns, Guardians or Cavs. Audrey also enjoyed bowling, playing golf, bingo and visiting the casino where she often, came home a winner. More than anything, Audrey’s best and favorite times were spent with her children Mike and Michele and nephew Randy. She traveled with her husband Max across many states to watch and cheer for them while playing and coaching sports. Audrey loved being a wife and a mother and always put her family and friends first with her unconditional love and support.
In addition to her parents, Audrey was preceded in death by her husband Max Ferris, sister Mildred Koket and her husband John, sister-in-law Pauline Burnley and her husband Robert, brother-in-law Donald Ferris, and nieces Cindi Burnley and Patti Daniels.

Mike and Michelle, I was very sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. She was a very special person to me. We had many good chats when I did her hair and we became good friends through the years. She had so much goodness in her heart…to everyone. I really did love her. I’m sorry for your loss. Donna Reese
To Audrey’s children I offer my deepest condolences. Your mother spoke about the both of you to me with pride. I worked at PENNCREST School District and knew your mom and what a special, caring person she was. I had spoken to her a couple of times after your father passed and regret that I did not make the recent call to her that I had been thinking I should make. As I am sure you know, there are not many women in this world with such a beautiful soul as Audrey. God Bless you and God Bless Audrey.
Sincerely,
Gloria Shields
