FARR, Carol Jean Cason Farr (Abstracted from the 28 June 2017 Waycross, GA Journal Herald Newspaper) Carol Jean Cason Farr passed away peacefully in her home Monday (June 26, 2017) surrounded by her loved ones. Born Nov. 22, 1928, she was the youngest of eight children born to Joseph Benjamin Cason Sr. and Fredda Harbin Cason, and remained a lifelong resident of Waycross. A remarkable, intelligent woman, Mrs. Farr graduated at 15 years old as valedictorian of her high school class and attended Georgia State College for Women in Milledgeville on scholarship. She double-majored in political science and library science with a minor in Spanish and Latin, and was recognized as a “Who’s Who” in American Universities. Following college, she moved to Washington, DC where she worked for the State Department in the United States War Effort. It was during this time that her enduring courtship with George W. Farr Sr. became more serious, and on June 10, 1951, they 14 were married in Waycross. Mr. and Mrs. Farr settled in their hometown where they raised a family of six children, and in 1977, she was recognized by the Waycross Journal-Herald as “Mother of the Year.” Their house has always been full of love and laughter, and their door always open to friends and family. Following their marriage, Mrs. Farr joined First Presbyterian Church of Waycross, of which Mr. Farr has been a lifetime member. She quickly became involved as a member of the choir and later a volunteer in the church nursery. She also taught Sunday school classes and was a member of the Presbyterian Women. She also served as an Elder of the church. Together, Mr. and Mrs. Farr opened their first business, Farr’s Bargain House, in 1952, which later became Farr’s Fine Furniture, a successful furniture store relocated in 1974 to the current location on the Waycross- Blackshear Highway. Mrs. Farr managed the store for more than 50 years while Mr. Farr managed their other business, Farr’s Discount House. The furniture store is still in operation and run by their two eldest sons, and she was still going to the store regularly until April when her illness kept her home. Even with her busy schedule as a mother of six and managing her business, Mrs. Farr never forgot the lessons of selflessness and charity instilled by her parents. In 1984, she was instrumental in the founding of the Magnolia House in Waycross, whose mission is to provide safe shelter and support to victims of domestic violence and their children. She served as secretary of the board for more than 20 years and treasurer of the board for four years. She has been bestowed with several awards and recognitions from Magnolia House. To honor her work, the Waycross Area Shelter for Abused Persons, Inc., established the Carol Farr Community Service Award to recognize those in the community who have dedicated time and/or service to Magnolia House. She also was a member of several other humanitarian organizations, and she regularly donated to funds such as Smile Train, to aid others in need. Along with her siblings, Mrs. Farr established the Joe and Fredda Cason Scholarship Fund at Waycross College. In 2000, she received the Morris Jacobson Brotherhood award for her outstanding achievement in community relations and brotherhood. Mrs. Farr was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend who will forever be remembered for her selflessness and devotion to her family and community. In her final act of selflessness, Mrs. Farr’s body has been donated per her request to the Medical College of Georgia. Mrs. Farr was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph B. and Fredda H. Cason, her siblings, Keren Cason, Doris Cason Williams, Nelda Cason Drinkwater, Joseph B. Cason Jr., Montine Cason Drupiewski, Frances Cason Butler and Richard Cason. Her legacy of love is continued by her husband of 66 years, George W. Farr Sr., of Waycross; and her six children Keren Elisabeth (Alex) Vega of Valdosta, Remley Eugene (Tammy) Farr of Blackshear, Julia Carol (John) Wurst of Glen St. Mary, FL, George Washington (Pamela) Farr of Blackshear, Fredda Cason (Mike) Burton of Cleveland, TN, and Harbin Clifton (Roxanne) Farr of Blackshear; as well as 13 grandchildren, Sean Vega, Molly (Ben) Jacobs, Remley Farr Jr., Erin Wurst, Sarah (Kevin) Spicer, George (Emily) Farr III, Brian Burton, Mark Burton, John Burton, Ben Burton, Garrett Farr, Cason Farr, Nicole Farr; and one great-granddaughter, Isabel Kate Farr; three sisters-in-law, Leila Wachtel of New Orleans, LA, Hazel Cason of Waycross, Irene Cason of Lutz, FL; and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

FARR, George Washington Farr Sr. (Abstracted from the 11 December 2017 Waycross, GA Journal Herald Newspaper) George Washington Farr Sr. passed away peacefully in his home Friday (Dec. 8, 2017), surrounded by his loved ones. Born May 18, 1925, in Ware County, he was the youngest son and third youngest of eight children born to Ralph Eugene and Iona Franklin Farr. He remained a lifelong resident of Waycross. The time in which he grew up was difficult for families across the nation, and his family was no exception. As a result, he began working early in life. While still a child, he earned money by collecting and selling scrap metal, in addition to finding and selling glass bottles to purchase sodas, which he would then sell to farmers at the tobacco markets. Later, he worked as a paper boy for the Waycross Journal-Herald until his early teens. To serve his nation, he went straight from high school to military service. Only 17 years old, he joined the Merchant Marines in 1942, shortly after the United States entered World War II. Two years later, his ship was part of the D-Day invasion at Normandy, coming with the second wave after the first wave scuttled ships to provide a breakwater for those to follow. At the end of the war, he took part in a Victory in Europe parade in Paris before returning to the United States with his unit. Later, he joined the United States Army, where he served with the Army of Occupation at Yokahama, Japan. Because of his experience in the Merchant Marines, he was appointed by his captain to be Pier Officer, making him the youngest to ever serve in that position. Following the death of the five Sullivan brothers, Congress passed a law that siblings should not be active duty at the same time, and as a result, he was discharged from active duty since he had two older brothers also serving. He left the Army as a five-stripe technical sergeant, one of the youngest to achieve such rank, and later served five years in the Army Reserve. It was during this time that his enduring courtship with Carol Jean Cason became more serious, and on June 10, 1951, they were married in Waycross. Mr. and Mrs. Farr settled in their hometown, where they raised a family of six children. In addition to their children, 15

Mr. and Mrs. Farr’s nieces and nephews were frequent visitors, and they opened their home to exchange students on multiple occasions. Their house was always full of love and laughter, and their door always open to friends and family. A lifelong member of First Presbyterian Church, he served his church faithfully. He filled many roles, serving as a deacon and an active elder for many years, and member of the men’s Sunday School class. Together, Mr. and Mrs. Farr opened their first business, Farr’s Bargain House, in 1952. This store later became Farr’s Fine Furniture, a successful furniture store relocated in 1974 to its current location on the Waycross-Blackshear Highway, which is still in operation today. He continued to operate Farr’s Discount House in downtown Waycross. It quickly became a successful hardware and plumbing store, and he was well-known and liked for the friendliness he showed everyone who entered the store. It was often said he would spend two hours explaining a repair job in order to sell a fifty-cent washer. Even with his busy schedule of raising six children and running two businesses, he never forgot those less fortunate, and could often be found working with and supporting organizations and events that helped others — particularly children. He served as a member of the Shriner’s Organization for many years, working with them in fundraising efforts for children and promoting the organization throughout the community. In 1950, he joined Masonic Lodge 305, which was founded by his father-in-law, Joseph B. Cason Sr. He eventually became a Master Mason and later joined Eastern Star 192. He also served as a trustee for the James Dye Foundation at South Georgia State College, was a member of Waycross Exchange Club, a past member of Blackshear Rotary International and past member of the Lions Club. In addition to the many groups he was actively involved with, he was known for his regular visits to residents at Baptist Village until an injury sidelined him earlier this fall. This “quiet hero” did not go unnoticed, either — on Feb. 14, 2016, he was recognized for his contribution and service to his community with the Morris Jacobson Brotherhood Award. He was an avid fisherman, and his grandchildren fondly remember their fishing adventures at Shriner’s Lake and the spillway of a golf course lake, among other popular fishing spots. There were very few things he enjoyed more than a family fish fry featuring his fresh catch. He was an exceptional man and a quiet inspiration to those who knew him. He lived his life a true example of Christ, teaching his family, “Everybody’s different, but everybody’s good.” He was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Carol Jean Cason Farr, his parents, Ralph E. and Iona F. Farr, his siblings, Julia Elise Brown, Clifta Belle Farr, Johnny Farr, R.W. “Dub” Farr, Mildred Farr Watson and Annie Ruth Farr Coley. He is survived by his sister, Leila Wachtel of New Orleans, LA; his six children, Keren Elisabeth (Alex) Vega of Valdosta, Remley Eugene (Tammy) Farr of Blackshear, Julia Carol (John) Wurst of Glen St. Mary, FL, George Washington (Pamela) Farr Jr. of Blackshear, Fredda Cason (Mike) Burton of Cleveland, TN, and Harbin Clifton (Roxanne) Farr of Blackshear; as well as 13 grandchildren, Sean Vega, Molly (Ben) Jacobs, Remley Farr Jr., Erin Wurst, Sarah (Kevin) Spicer, George (Emily) Farr III, Brian Burton, Mark Burton, John Burton, Ben Burton, Garrett Farr, Cason Farr, Nicole Farr; one great-granddaughter, Isabel Kate Farr; another great-granddaughter, Ari Claire Spicer, due to be born any day; two sisters-in-law, Hazel Cason of Waycross, and Irene Cason of Lutz, FL; and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives. A memorial service will be Thursday at First Presbyterian Church of Waycross.

FLOWERS, Jimmie Flowers (Abstracted from John Bullard 25 May 2020) Jimmie Flowers was born in Wilmington, NC in 1946. He grew up working on his grandparent’s farm, picking tobacco and caring for the farm animals. Here he learned the value of hard work, honest labor and sharing with your neighbor. Shortly after graduating from high school and turning 18, he was, as he said, personally invited by the President to join the United States Army. He served for four years during the Vietnam War. While it was not a period he frequently talked about, it did instill him with a sense of pride in serving his country and being part of the greatest force for freedom in the world, the United States Military. He married his wife of 52 years, Reva Catherine Flowers in 1966. He was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant and began working in construction. One of the first jobs he had was building a music auditorium in Kentucky and he always said that was his contribution to a family of musicians. His wife Catherine was an accomplished pianist, organist, and a highly trained Music Liturgy Consultant for the Episcopal and Roman Catholic Churches. In 1967, Catherine gave birth to their first son, William Flowers. Billy was a towering intellect and gifted musician in his own right, who unfortunately predeceased both of his parents in 2012 and in 1986, his second son, Dr. Michael Flowers, a Violinist with a Doctorate in Sacred Music and Musical Art, currently of Madison, FL, was born. After those first two years in construction, Jimmie worked for over thirty years in the United States Postal Service. He started as a Rural Carrier, was a City Carrier, a Clerk, a Supervisor, served as an auditor for large cities such as Detroit and Chicago, and eventually was Postmaster of offices in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and retired as Postmaster of Valdosta, GA. This was his sense of greatest accomplishment. Upon taking office at the close of 1994 / beginning of 1995, Valdosta was ranked 11th in the Georgia districts “Big 11” offices. In the course of one year, the office was number 1 in the district and remained so until his retirement in the beginning of 2001. They lost that ranking by 2002. Jimmie 59 was dedicated to his work, frequently working long hours to ensure that the Postal Service was the most reliable and fastest form of letter or package delivery. He also had the Post Office Station on Inner Perimeter Road designed and built before his retirement. His last act as Postmaster was appointing the Supervisor to oversee that station as station manager. Jimmie was an avid golfer, who loved sports of all kinds. In his youth he played baseball and football and took part in any physical activity he could. Over the course of his life he attended many different denominations, usually because his family was playing at that particular church. He was born Southern Baptist, but was at times also on the rolls as a Methodist, First Christian, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Non-Denominational, Episcopalian, but was for the majority of his life, a baptized and received member of the Roman Catholic Church. He and his son Michael always joked, that they felt comforted, because while others may argue about religion, he had been just about everything, so it really increased his chances at Heaven. He is survived by his son, Dr. Michael Flowers, his daughter-in-law, Marie Flowers both currently of Madison County, FL and his brother Larry Flowers and sister-in- law Helen Flowers of Wilmington, NC. His funeral service will be at St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Church in Madison, FL. Burns Funeral Home in Madison, FL is assisting the family with arrangements.

FOLSOM, Leta Mae Register Folsom (Abstracted from http://valdostatoday.com/obituaries/2019/03/leta-mae-register-folsom/) On Saturday, March 9, 2019 Leta Mae Register Folsom joined her husband S.G. and her heavenly Father who she had loved and served her entire life. Waiting for her were her mother and father, her sisters and her brother, along with a host of friends and other family members. Leta’s last residence was Sunrise Assisted Living, in Lawrenceville, GA, where she and her cat, Booger, lived for nearly 2½ years. Leta was born April 5, 1929 in Dupont, GA, to the late William Sherman Register and Cassie Register. She went to Clinch County Schools and graduated from Clinch County High School. Still in her teens, she and her sister, Juanita, boarded a bus and went to Atlanta where they worked as switchboard operators for Bell Telephone for a short time. Not enjoying the life of a big city, she and Juanita came back home to Clinch County. In 1947, at the age of nineteen, she met and married S.G. Folsom, Sr. who later became Reverend S.G. Folsom but that didn’t happen for another ten years. During that span of time, Leta would take her children to church at Lee Street Baptist and later Northside Baptist Church, either by herself or with her father in law and her mother in law Shearer and Elizabeth Folsom. This eventually prompted S.G., Sr. to start attending church which was something he had hardly ever done, and he had a major transformation. Leta’s persistence about taking her children to church and pushing S.G. came to fruition when S.G. finally found his Lord and Savior and was licensed as a Baptist preacher on February 25, 1959. Leta was with S.G. at every church he pastored and was an integral part of his ministry. Prior to S.G. becoming a Baptist preacher, he and Leta and their children attended a mission church of Northside Baptist named Emanuel (now Westside), which met in the most unlikely place, a used Circus tent with sawdust on the ground for flooring and a citrus grove smudge pot for heat. This is the place where Leta and S.G. really got their start in church ministry, which they were involved in for the rest of their lives. Leta was a homemaker and wonderful mother to her children and a faithful wife to S.G., but when her children were small, she had to work outside the home at Metal Products which manufactured automotive parts for cars and trucks. This was done out of necessity, not choice, but she never complained, she later worked at Telcom Communications. At that time, she still attended to her stubborn, stroke disabled dad who lived in the house with her family. Seven people in a really small house. She did not mind the cramped quarters at all. She never was one to complain, she would just do what was necessary. On April 5, 2019, she would have been ninety years old. She lived a very full life and traveled all over the world with S.G. Survivors include one daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Lee Pennington of Lawrenceville, three sons and daughters-in-law, William R. Folsom (Carol, deceased), of Valdosta, Griffin and Jeanie Folsom of Greensboro, and Kenneth and Linda Folsom of Conyers; her grandchildren, Ian Folsom, Alan Folsom (Julie) of Valdosta, Alison and Megan Folsom of Birmingham, AL, Seth Pennington and Erin Zapata of Lawrenceville, Joshua Harris (Kamie); her great grandchildren, River William Dean Folsom of Hammond, LA, Evan Griffin Folsom and Emily Morgan Folsom of Valdosta and Athens, Kaleb Pennington, Kallie Zapata, Karsen Zapata, and Kolton Zapata, all of Lawrenceville, Summer Harris, Dakota Harris, 71 and Vivian Harris. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, her husband S.G., her sister Juanita Turner Clark, her sister Lillian Brown, and her brother, W.T. Register.
