Betty Ann Farrer Kemp
Wrens, GA – Betty Ann Farrer Kemp, 88, entered into her eternal rest Saturday afternoon, May 21, 2016 at her daughter’s residence in North Augusta. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 A.M., Wednesday morning, May 25, 2016 in the James Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Jerry Byrd officiating.

Betty was one of six children born to the late Nellie Gay Farrer and the late Asa Farrer in Jefferson County. She was baptized in Brushy Creek and was a member of St. Clair Baptist Church. She, a strong-willed, godly woman, enjoyed music, sewing, cooking, gardening and flowers. A generous, caring person, Betty had a servant’s heart and helped those in need in any way she could. She was a very active person who loved to stay busy. Betty was a loyal friend and loving mother who loved her family unconditionally—her greatest pleasure was spending time with her family.
Betty is also preceded in death by two children, Gloria Browning and Frank Williams; and four siblings, Asa Farrer Jr., Tressie Hardy, Doris Williford and Mary Chance. Survivors include her children, Robert McNair (Ann), Donald “Scottie” Williams (Debbie), Carolyn Williams Johnson, Marie Ledbetter (Herbert), Bettie Williams, Teresa Renee Rish (Eddie); her brother, Jimmy Farrer; fifteen grandchildren; twenty-four great grandchildren; seven great-great grandchildren; many nieces, nephews and friends. Serving as pallbearers will be Keith Bailey, Kyle Bailey, Dennis Farrer, Caleb Ledbetter, Bobby McNair and Dallas Snowden.
