Winifred Louise Farmer
June 19, 1932 ~ August 12, 2012
Resided in:
Pueblo, CO
Winifred Louise Farmer completed her journey from this vale of tears on Aug. 12, 2012, and is now at rest with her Savior, Christ Jesus, for eternity. Louise was born June 19, 1932, in Pueblo, the daughter of Sylvester and Esther Medde. She graduated from Central and Pueblo Junior College before getting her teaching degree from Colorado State College of Education at Greeley. After graduation, she taught at Carlisle before meeting the love of her life, Darrell, an Air Force officer in Reno, Nev., and was the inspiration of his life for the next 57 years. Louise was an accomplished pianist, seamstress, painter, and invested these talents in her children and grandchildren as they grew up. Louise worked tirelessly for her family, and the many missionaries and international students to whom she and Darrell opened their home over the years. She was gracious and kind to everyone she knew and possessed a gentle spirit and a deep faith. She is survived by her husband, Darrell; her children, Jeff Farmer of Fort Collins, Elise (John) Kirby of Detroit, Mich. and Cindy (Eric) Wohl of San Angelo, Texas; her grandchildren, Josh, Claire and Trent Kirby, Rachel and Christina Wohl. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Ves Medde; and sister, Eva Krall.
A celebration of Louise's life will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug, 16, 2012, at Valley Community Church, in Colorado City, with Pastor Clyde Jones officiating. Interment will follow at 12:30 p.m. at Roselawn Cemetery, in Pueblo.
The family would like to thank their extended family; Melanie and Johanna of Sangre de Cristo Hospice; Kim and Annett of Independent Hearts; and many family friends for their encouragement and tender loving care for Louise during her illness. Please omit flowers. Contributions may be made to the Louise Farmer Memorial Fund for the African Rafiki Orphan School through Montgomery & Steward Funeral Home, 1317 N. Main St., Pueblo, CO 81003.

Louise was a committed follower of Jesus. A great friend, cook and long-term hostess of small group Bible studies and God mother to our oldest daughter, Rachel. She will be missed until that great day when all the saints will be taken up in glory.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love you, friend.

Mrs. Farmer is such a memory of my high school years! She was always so gracious and always the mother of the year from my view. I know you will be missed by your loved ones. I am blessed to have known you and thank you for my dear friend Cindy. Peace and prayers to you and your family.
Dear Darrell,
It was with sincere sadness that I read of Louise’s passing. I did not have the privilege of knowing her well, but I did have a sense of her sweet spirit. I send you my profound sympathy and love at this difficult time. I know that you shared a special relationship with Louise. May all of the good memories help sustain you. ~ Jo
Dear Farmer Family,
Thank you for sharing with us about the passing of your wife, mother, and grandmother.
We appreciate her for her loving cards, prayers, and support for our family as we served in Nigeria.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Elise and Family,
I was so sorry to read of your loss.
I will always remember the kindness shown to me by your mother as she welcomed me to your home. I have so many fond memories of time spent there with you. As a mixed up 14 year old I always felt comforted by your mom’s smile and was thankful for her extending grace and lack of judgement.
May the Lord give you comfort during this most difficult time. We can celebrate her victory over death as she served the risen Lord and is now in His heavenly kingdom.
You all are in my prayers.
With much love and deepest sympathies,
Ashley Renee Sullivan-Valdez
