Elizabeth P. Farris, 93, of Louisville, went home to her Heavenly Father peacefully on the morning of July 4, 2015 at the Christian Health Center. She was a native of Irvine, KY and the former Elizabeth Powell.
After high school Elizabeth had earned her nursing degree as a RN but was a homemaker looking after her children and her grandchildren. She belonged to the Newburg Christian Church and their Christian Women's Fellowship, and was the church librarian for many years there. She absolutely loved people and her interaction with them. The apples of her eye were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who lovingly called her Mamaw. She loved to bake and sew and enjoyed working in her yard to raise a beautiful flower garden every year.
Left cherishing her memory are her children, Marvin D (Beatrice), Neil R. (Carrie), Gary (Carolyn) and Jim (Lisa) Farris, Kathy (Robert) Gallegos and Kim (Greg) Johnson; 10 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
