Ferrell grew up in Glen Cove, Texas where her father owned and operated a country store.  She graduated from Talpa High School, where she was a twirler and played on the basketball team.

She returned to the workplace after her first husband, Noris Sneed died in 1984, working for LISD in the deaf education department.  She later served as Director of First Baptist Pre-School and finally as a middle school library aide.

Ferrell was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Ladell King, and her first husband, Noris Sneed.

Survivors include her spouse, Roy Koon of Lampasas, TX; her daughters, Janet Stephens of Midland and Diane Heath (Tom) of Meadow, TX; and sons, Mark Sneed (Meg) and Jeff Sneed (Tricia) both of Lampasas; 8 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
