Geraldine was an educator in the Florence City Schools and an active member in the Chisholm Hills Church of Christ. After her retirement in 1987, they relocated to Conway, Arkansas.

I extend my deepest sympathies of the lost of Mrs. Farmer. She taught me for 2 yrs in grade school and I hold her with great respect. I will always remember the day of the astronauts going to space and she told us they had lifted off for the moon. She build the fire in me to have curiosity and to go further in my life than just be a farm girl. I wish Mr. Farmer good health and I hope the children the very best. It would be good to reconnect sometime as it has been many yrs and many moves and many trips around the world. Best regards,

I was so very sorry to learn of the death of Geraldine Farmer. I recently met Mr. & Mrs. Farmer at the Senior Center, and I enjoyed sharing a table with them as we were all retired teachers. I would jokingly say when they walked in, "Here come the farmers". They would just laugh. They seemed to be a wonderful couple. My prayers are for their loved ones.
