Raymond Farmer Obituary
Raymond Lee Farmer 66 of Sylva went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday October 1, 2025. Raymond was born on September 26, 1959 to the late James W. Farmer and Mary H. Farmer.
Raymond is survived by the love of his life, Jenny Bean. Also surviving are two sons, Ray (Michelle) Farmer of Whittier, and Jeff Bean of Sylva; two daughters, Brandi (Brent) Allison of Whittier, and Jessica (Michael) Long of Cherokee; one sister, Debbie (Doug) Owen of Sylva. Nine grandchildren also survive.
Raymond enjoyed deer hunting and just being outdoors. He enjoyed new adventures and traveling with Jenny to discover new places. Raymond was not a big talker until he got to know you. When he did, he was quick witted and loved to get a "good one" on somebody. He loved to pull little jokes on people and watch their reaction so he could have a good chuckle. Raymond's love, wisdom, support, and humor will be missed immensely.
A celebration of Raymond's life will be held at a later date. The date and place will be announced when decided upon.
