Update: Sheree Whitfield was able to find her mother, who is now safe with family. She released the following statement.
“Thank you for all the prayers, they worked! My Mom has been found safe & healthy. She is with family now. I couldn’t have gotten through this without your support!”
Original Story: The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Sheree Whitfield shared that her mother, Thelma Ferguson, has been missing for several weeks she revealed in a social media post.
“Please keep my mom and my family in your prayers,” said Whitfield on Instagram. “We all know that prayers can move mountains!!! I was hesitant to post my concerns for my mother’s safe return because, although I have been in close contact with the police for the past two weeks, I’m also pretty private when it comes to my family.”
Family members last saw Ferguson on March 23 wearing a black shirt and gray pants. The 77-year-old grandmother was on her way to the bank when she disappeared. She was driving her grey 2009 Honda Accord, according to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“Also, in the past, my mom has taken personal vacations without letting the family know and we respect that side of her,” Whitfield added. “However, this is the longest she have gone without reaching out to anyone from the family or her friends. Right now we are leaning on God and staying positive and prayerful for her safe return home.”
Nene Leakes and Kim Zolciak, both veteran cast members of the reality show, posted about the situation on Instagram.
Family and friends are asking people that if they know her whereabouts or have any information to report it to the Sandy Springs police department at (770) 551-6923. Also, people can reach out to the missing persons department at rgehricke@sandyspringsga.gov.
