away October 10, 2019. Memorial Service will be Monday, October 14,
2019 at Laurel Land, Chapel of Chimes. Edith was born in Bryans Mill,
Texas on May 1, 1931, the 7th of 10 children. After graduating from Naples
High School, Edith moved from the woods of East Texas to the city of Fort
Worth to live with her sister, Billie and brother-in-law, David Smith. One of
her favorite hobbies during her time in the city was bowling, where she met
her husband, Dan Farrar. They married on February 25, 1955, and
celebrated their 64h anniversary this year. On November 10, 1960, Edith
began her job as a secretary with Burford King at Kx Investments. She
upported Mr. King and his many businesses during the 48 years of working
together. Edith retired as the Executive Assistant of Kx Investments in
2008. While working, Edith had many interests, including bowling,
gardening, and cattle ranching. She enjoyed spending her retirement days
with Dan working cattle on their ranch in Godley. One of her key moments
as a rancher were bottle-feeding a set of twin calves, which later grew to be
healthy, oversized pets. The family would like to thank the Memory Care
personnel for the compassion and care they provided every day, as well as
the experienced and supporting staff at Encompass Hospice for filling her
final days with comfort. Edith is preceded in death by her brothers, sisters,
their significant others and her parents. Surviving her are her husband Dan,
her son Marcus and his wife Kay, her granddaughter, Kelly, her grandson
Klinton and his wife Melanie, and their three beautiful children.
