Edward Eugene Farmer, 91, of Dewey, died Wednesday in Tulsa.
Edward Eugene Farmer was born the son of Edward R. and Edith (Mason)
Farmer on September 7, 1929 in Dewey, OK. He attended Dewey High
School and graduated in 1948. Shortly after, he joined the United
States Navy and become an electrician stationed in Alaska and Japan,
serving during the Korean War. During his time of service he
received the Navy Occupation Medal, Korean Service Medal, United
Nations Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. He was a patriotic
American who proudly served his country.
Edward and his wife, Joann (Robertson), spent many years together
singing gospel hymns at churches, nursing homes, weddings, funerals,
and the Washington County Fair. They both enjoyed going camping and
being with their family. Over the years, they were actively involved
with the youth groups at Dewey, Wann, and Copan Baptist Church. They
were also faithful members of Highland Park Baptist Church for many
years. They were most recent members of Eastern Heights Baptist
Church in Bartlesville. The two loved each other’s company and have
been best friends ever since. If Edward got the chance on a sunny
day, you could see him out in his garden tending to his vegetables.
Edward was a friendly and humble man who never spoke a bad word
about anyone. Every person he met was a sudden friend, and stranger
wasn’t in his dictionary.
