Cathy, I was so sad to read about your mother.  Emma Lou

She brought joy and happiness to everyone.  I have many wonderful memories of her.  She will be missed but will live on in all that she touched.

We really enjoyed meeting Catherine and sharing a lovely dinner with wonderful conversation and much laughter with her on your trip to Alaska last year.  Catherine will be greatly missed by many.

When Catherine joined our church she came with her sweet smile, her sleeves rolled up, and ready to serve. Her positive outlook was contagious and all ages were drawn to her joyful spirit. She loved and was loved. Ann & Ronnie Griffeth

A wonderful, witty lady.  She was able to cross generation gaps with a smile, and understanding comments.  I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to know her, and count her has a friend.

I spoke to Mrs. Farmer on several occasions and only wish I'd gotten to know her better.  But through our common bonds of her daughter Cathy and Girl Scouting, we became immediate friends as though we'd known each other a lifetime; she was that kind of an amazing person.  I do know she will be missed by me and many, many others.  My sincerest condolences to Cathy, Monty and Edie.  With all my love, Eloise

Catherine was one of those very special people I was fortunate enough to meet in my lifetime.  She lived with such a strong zest for life, a love for her family & friends, and fantastic sense of humor. I know that I am a better person just by having known her & will miss her deeply.

Catherine Farmer was an amazing, strong, loving woman who will be missed by many.  She has touched many people during her life and her strength, wit, and kindness will live on through her family who she raised so well.  I feel very fortunate to have known her.

I love the photo gallery....What a beautiful woman and I'm talking inside beauty as well as outside beauty. Having her as a "2nd" mom was such an honor! And I mean spankings and all!!! I will never forget her voice or the way she spoke my name. Thank you so much for loving us the way only you can! I could only imagine the sound of the angels singing when she went home. I love you...Jan

Catherine was the strongest and most loving woman I know-- and funny.  Her daughters are second!  All of us who were briefly 'adopted' loved her and felt her love. She faced a lot of hardship in her life with grace and humor and always found the best in what was. Once, when a possum startled us by wandering into our kitchen, she sent a book 'Possum Come Knocking at the Door' that had us rolling with laughter. Sarah and I miss her.

I will never sit in the back row of Sanctuary east ---Franklin First UMC   again without feeling her presence beside me, We all will miss Catherine She worked hard and lovingly for the church.I was happy to be her friend in Christ.                 Arlene Bower

 Catherine will be missed by many. No more mints, cookies or casseroles. Our United Methodist Women will feel her absence. Debbie Miller
