AVON —
It is with great sadness the family of Audrey Mae Farrow of Avon, North Carolina, announce her passing on Monday September 23, 2024. She peacefully passed away at Outer Banks Hospital, surrounded by her family. She was 77 years old.
Audrey loved her church and served as a past lay leader for St. John United Methodist Church in Avon, North Carolina. She taught throughout the years as a Sunday school teacher for the young adult and later the adult class. She shared her love of music by singing in the choir at church and serving faithfully as the narrator for the Christmas pageant at St. John.
Audrey was an active volunteer whenever she was needed at the church; also, Audrey always had a hug for all and she knew no strangers. Her positive attitude, twinkling eyes, warm hugs, and ready laugh were well known by her friends and family.
Audrey was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years Ervin Farrow, her parents Frank and Ethel O’Neal, and grandson, Gabriel Farrow.
She leaves behind her four children. Ervin Farrow, Tabitha Filer (Jack), Kermit Farrow, and Matthew Farrow (Brittany). She was known fondly as a Nanny to 13 grandchildren: Gary Farrow, Justin Farrow (Ashley), Kerry Jr Hooper (Courtney), Krystal Harris (Billy), Tyler and Austin Hooper, Kermit Jr., Brandon, Thomas, and Gabriella Farrow, Kaylie, Amerika, and Matthew Farrow. Also surviving are 12 great-grandchildren, Jerimiah, Zedekiah, and Ryan Farrow, Kyra, Ervin, Elly and Leighton Hooper, Ashton, Ava, Abri Harris, and Sebastian and Sawyer Hooper, as well as her brother-in-law, Leroy Farrow (Barbara).
Audrey’s enthusiasm for life, positive attitude, and passionate love of Christ will be remembered by all who knew her. We invite all family and friends to attend her funeral service at St. John United Methodist Church in Avon, NC, on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the United Women in Faith of St. John United Methodist Church.
