I wasn't sure if I shared this in the past, but when I was a student at SSC, and went to visit her in her office, she noticed that I was favoring my back as I had a back injury. She actually showed me a back exercise by getting down on the floor. That one exercise has saved me from being bedridden many times.

Dr. Farris helped my stressed out mother personally fill out my financial aid papers while I was away in the Military. I was the first one in my family to graduate High School. Thanks to her I graduated Stockton in 1989. I also graduated from Wilmington college earning my Master of Science in Organizational Leadership in 2007. My family and I will never forget Dr. Farris for being our Guardian Angel. She made such a great positive difference in my entire family. I am her Starfish! ...

I met Dr. Farris at SUNY Brockport in upstate New York. She loved growing orchids, sincere intelligence, stimulating conversation and laughter. Most of all, she treasured her son, King, the proverbial light of her life. I will miss her spirit, inherent fire and kind heart. I will never forget her smile lighting up every room, no matter the inhabitants. My condolences are late because, I just found out about her passing.

I met Dr. Vera King Farris five years ago at the restaurant I work at. What an amazing person. She was always in a pleasant mood. We would talk about the latest movie she had just seen or about a Tyler Perry play-movie. She will trully be missed. Love You Vera! My sincere condolences to the family.

He Only Takes The Best...
God saw they were their happiest and
someone would not let that be.
So He put his arms around them and whispered "Come with Me".
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands put to rest.
God broke the family hearts to prove to them,
He only takes the best.
In Memory of a great community leader.

Dr. Farris was a very gracious person to me at Stockton State College. Funny enough one memory I have was going into her office as a student. A student with a very bad back. She actually got on the floor and shared with me an exercise she used for back. It has helped me when my back goes out for many years. My condolences to her family.
