Kim Ferris, 58

By |

Kim Ferris (née O’Keefe), a light in the lives of all she met, passed peacefully on December 10, 2024, after a 21-year battle with cancer. She is remembered by those who knew her best as someone who spread love, laughter, positivity, and above all, kindness to every person she met. Born on June 21, 1966, she will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Henry, children, Hank & Alison, her mother, Beverly Gore, life-long friends & colleagues, and all those who were fortunate enough to cross her path. 

Born in the Bronx, Kim grew up in Mt. Kisco, NY, graduated from Fox Lane High School and received her bachelor’s degree from Ohio Wesleyan. She spent most of her professional career with J.P. Morgan, where most recently she served as a Managing Director within the firm’s Wealth Management and International Private Bank divisions.

Dear Editor,

Thank you to the family or group who replaced the bench at the corner of Farm Road and Main St.  I have missed it and now a new one is there! Nice place for a break before or after going up or down Farm Road. Peter Accinno

As I start to write this it is Saturday morning in mid-December and three gas leaf blowers are going next door. 

It is cold so I am being kept indoors today by the temperature outside and not just by the noise and toxic fumes of two-stroke leaf blowers like most Saturdays since early September. None of our neighbors have their leaves blown on the same day.

To the Editor,

This year marks the 20th year that Lapham Community Center has assisted New Canaan residents with Medicare Part D enrollment, offering invaluable support and guidance through the process of evaluating and choosing a plan. This year’s dedicated counselors – Dick Neville, Sally Campbell, Kim Campbell, Shean-Mei Sheu, Shannon Vallerie, and Kathy Collins – provided over 342 hours of service. Our counselors met with 400 residents, 146 of whom (36%) chose to change their Part D plan, leading to a combined savings of $384,000.
