Ella Mae Farmer died Thursday afternoon, Aug. 21, 2008, at her home after an illness. Born May 10, 1929, in Sumter, she was a daughter of the late Bozier and Viola Walters Farmer.
At an early age, Ella Mae accepted Christ and became a member of New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. She was a member of Missionary Circle No. 3.
Ella Mae enjoyed doing laundry, washing dishes and, most of all, she helped rear many children in her family and others she took care of. She was not a biological mother but a mother of the ones she came in contact with. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
She leaves to cherish her memory, a sister, Emma (Sanford) Wright; two brothers, Jeroman "Jeff" Bozier (Wilhelmenia) Farmer and Isaac Farmer, all of Sumter; four special caregivers, Pauline, Ronnie and Tiffany June of the home and Dianne Farmer of Sumter; two brothers-in-law, George Silas of Sumter and Enoch Amos of Columbia; a special nephew, DeQuandre; a niece, Charlisa June of Sumter; a special nurse, Linda G. Galishaw, who is a niece; and a host of other nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, great-grandnieces, great-grandnephews, cousins, other relatives and friends who are deeply grieved by her passing.
She was preceded in death by four brothers, Jimmy, Malachi and Ezekiel Farmer and Henry Gipson; four sisters, Minnie Ruth Butler, Mattie Lee Banks, Annie Amos and Ellaree Silas; and three sisters-in-law, Cora Lee Farmer, Ophelia Farmer and Vera Gipson.
Funeral services: New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church with the pastor, the Rev. Willie A. Wright, in charge of the eulogy.
