Carol Jean Farmer, age 82, of Fort Payne, Alabama, formerly of Clarkesville, GA, passed away to her heavenly home on October 11, 2023.
Mrs. Farmer was born on September 14, 1941, in Fort Pierce, FL, to the late Hugh & Gladys King Blanton. She was a caretaker at Magnolia Hills in Georgia.
Carol Farmer was a strong and sassy woman who humbly served God with every living breath she took. She was an avid fisherman with her two tag-alongs (Josh & Mitchell). She even won a 2nd place award for the largest sunfish caught in the state of Georgia. Other than fishing, she was an avid “green thumb” gardener who enjoyed getting her hands dirty and anxiously waited to see the final flower come to life.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Harris D. Farmer.
She is survived by her daughter & son-in-law, Carolyn & Mitchell Coleman; step-children, Eugene Farmer, Tina (Ricky) Waycaster, and Donna Farmer; brothers, Ronnie Clemmons and Wayne Clemmons; sister, Florence Horton; several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
She set an example for her siblings, children, grandchildren, friends, and even strangers at times on how to have faith in God. She was a blessing to everyone who knew her.
A graveside service will be held at 3:30 p.m., Sunday, October 15, 2023, at the Walkers Chapel Cemetery in Fort Payne. The family will receive friends on Sunday from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. at the funeral home.
