Mary was born on October 15, 1923, in Newberry, South Carolina, to the late William and Mary Crouch. She was destined to be a stay at home mom and raised all her children with love and patience. Mary was a faithful member of Cherry Point Baptist Church and devoted her life to the Lord.  Mary could be found reading her Bible on a daily basis. She truly had a servant’s heart.

She is survived by her daughters, Bonnie Thomas (Robert) of New Bern, Frankie Odom (Calvin) of Middleburg, Florida, Wanda Jean Pettipas (Mark) of Mill Creek, Sandra Clark (James) of Newport, and Cindy Cothran (George) of Greenville, South Carolina; sons, Robert McDowell (Elizabeth) of Havelock, and Jerry McDowell (Tennie) of Sparta, Tennessee; 11 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren; and 4 great great grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Farmer; and brothers, Robert Crouch, Donald Crouch, Charles Crouch, Harold Crouch, and William David Crouch.
