Mrs. Farr was born in Peach County to the late W. Lester and Annie Watson Rackley. She retired from the Airborne Electronics Division at Robins Air Force Base after 32 years of service. Louise was a member of County Line Baptist Church where she served the church as a clerk for many years. In 1994, she became a member of Henderson Baptist Church. She will be remembered by her family as a loving, selfless wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. Her children will forever remember her amazing ability to never see their faults. Louise was always able to make the most out of life. She enjoyed gardening, cooking for her family, fishing, and listening to her favorite music, but the most precious to her was the time she spent with her family. She was preceded in death by a beautiful baby daughter, Louise Farr; a brother, Lewis Rackley; and two sisters, Gladys Folds and May Jenkins.
Left to cherish her memories are her children, Richard Aubrey Farr (Clarene) of Norcross, Betty Farr Wages (Micky) of Braselton, Ouida Farr Smallwood (Jimmy) of Perry, Judy Farr Kersey (Wendell) of Henderson, and Wanda Kay Farr Stephens (Ralph) of Marietta; her siblings, Harvey Rackley (Evelyn) of Perry, Frances Evans of Unadilla, Martha Ann Irwin of Roanoake, Virginia, John Alton Rackley (Dale) of Warner Robins; 12 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews.
