Fern Carrol Edwin was born March 20, 1927, in Freeborn County, the daughter of Peter and Nora (Peterson) Nelson. She grew up in rural Alden and attended school in Freeborn. In 1944 Fern was united in marriage to George Hendrickson, who died in 1962. In 1964 she married Ralph Moore, who died in 1968, and in February 1969 she was united in marriage to Donald Edwin, who died in 2012.

Fern was a member at Trinity Lutheran Church, Sunbeam Mission Circle, Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary and American Legion Auxiliary.

She enjoyed cooking, baking, reading, bowling and playing cards — especially 500 and Bridge. Most of all, Fern loved spending time with her family.

Survivors include her children Susan (Lowell) Syverson of Des Moines, Iowa, James (Mary) Hendrickson of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, Andrew (Kim) Hendrickson of California, Mary (Tom) Jean of Mankato, Peter (Diane) Moore of Clarks Grove and John (Jenny) Edwin of Albert Lea; eight grandchildren; five great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
