The Toccoa Police Department is hosting a fundraiser to support one of their own, Missy Farmer, the City of Toccoa’s Court Clerk, and her family during a challenging time. Missy’s husband, Perry Farmer, a former Lieutenant at the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
Missy and Perry, married for 34 years, have two sons: CJ (31) and Triston (22). Perry was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma, an aggressive form of cancer.
“We are hopeful that radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy will help manage and maintain his health,” said Missy. “Perry loves his family, enjoys riding his Harley, cooking on his smoker, and studying the Bible.”
Perry served as a Lieutenant at the Stephens County Sheriff’s Department for many years and now works in gas maintenance for the City of Toccoa.
“Perry is 54 and fighting for his life, and we are committed to supporting him every step of the way,” Missy added.
To assist with the rising medical costs, Carry-On Trailers of Lavonia, GA, located at 101 Joe Harvey Street, has generously donated a 2025 6’x8′ GW2K trailer for a raffle. Tickets are $5 each, and the drawing will take place at the Toccoa Police Department, 92 N. Alexander Street, Toccoa, on Friday, February 14. All proceeds will go directly to the Farmer family, and you do not need to be present to win.
Raffle tickets can be purchased at the Toccoa Police Department, Monday through Friday.
“As a community, it’s our turn to show our gratitude for the Farmer family’s many years of dedicated service,” said a spokesperson for the Toccoa Police Department.
