Frances Farlow Obituary
She was also preceded in death by her infant daughter Joyce Louise Farlow.
Fran Farlow reared two children in Richmond, VA where she became Advertising Manager for La Vogue and set up advertising departments for fashion stores Flair and Worths. She was a copywriter/layout artist for the Richmond Times Dispatch and Richmond News Leader, and was Richmond's first female advertising executive for a local agency.
She left Richmond to become Advertising Manager for Matthew-Belk in Gastonia. Upon retiring from Matthews-Belk she worked part-time as a feature writer/reporter for The Gaston Gazette until the age of 92. Recently she donated many family pictures and memorabilia, dating back to the early 1800's to the Paulsboro Library.
Fran Farlow will be missed by her son James L. Farlow and wife Sue of Stumpy Point, NC and her daughter Judy Farlow of Kingsport, TN; her five grandchildren Carolyn Mahler, Patty Blankenship, Amme Mahler, Curtis Farlow and Jay Farlow; and her great grandchildren.

Fran Farlow was my neighbor for a few years when I was a child and I remember the stories she used to write. She hand-made stuffed animals to go with her stories and gave them to me. I still have a fable she wrote, typed up on a typewriter and signed. She was a dear friend to me those few years and I'm sad to hear she passed away. I will always remember her fondly.
