Born February 17, 1931 in Sulligent, AL, she was the daughter of the late James Allen and Ophelia Allen Bolen.

Mrs. Farmer worked for Western Textile Corporation in Columbus, MS and in Saint Louis, MO for 32 years, before retiring in 1996. After retiring she spent several years as a Pink Lady Volunteer at Baptist Memorial Golden-Triangle Hospital in Columbus where she was Volunteer of the year for several years. She attended Living Faith Tabernacle in Columbus, MS for many years. She loved hearing from her children and sharing their daily lives and activities. There wasn't a day that passed that she did not talk with her children. She enjoyed visiting yard sales on the weekends and cooking in her younger days, but really enjoyed other peoples cooking in her latter days. She looked forward to the many sweets and treats her dear friend and neighbor of 40 years, Maurine Hollis brought to her, and her Sunday dinners from her dear Wanda Treeces, who thought of her as a mother. Pallbearers will be Robert Britton, Bob Ray, Pee Wee Gregg, David Helton, Robert Farmer and Eddie Hull.
