Tamara Farmer

Tamara Farmer, born on October 6, 1967 in Moline, Illinois, was a beacon of joy, radiating warmth and love to all who had the privilege of knowing her. A beloved mother, sister, grandmother, and partner, Tamara was a woman of boundless energy and a heart full of love. As Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Tamara embodied this wisdom, making everyone around her feel cherished and important.

Tamara built her life in Morrilton, Arkansas, raising her children, fostering friendships, and creating a home filled with laughter and warmth. She had a knack for making even the most ordinary day special, whether she was playing cards with friends or playing pranks on her significant other, Jeremy Brown. Tamara spent her professional life in the food industry, performing general labor with a smile that never faltered. She was a woman who knew the value of hard work and instilled the same in her children, Alan Farmer (Sarah), Sarah Kirk (Steven), and Kelly Farmer. Tamara's love for her family extended to her grandchildren, Christopher, Caylee, and Skyler Kirk, who were the center of her universe. She also leaves behind a host of numerous family and friends, who will miss her dearly.

Preceded in death by her parents, Theodore and Evelyn Markley, her daughter, Jennifer Farmer, and several siblings, Tamara's life was marked by resilience and strength. As Walt Whitman rightly said, "The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?" Tamara's verse was one of love, kindness, and unwavering spirit. Her legacy will endure in the hearts and lives of her loved ones, including her siblings Ted Markley, Cindy Sherrell (Bill), Pat Elsbury (Jeff), Kathy Markley, and her brother-in-law, Gary Kimberling.
