She was a Christian woman who showed kindness to everyone she met. Mit had a gift of music and enjoyed playing piano for her church as long as her health allowed. She loved crafting, flowers, old movies, and anything chocolate. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by three brothers: Ted, Wray, and Calvin Farris and her sister, Gertrude Carroll. Survivors include her brother, Paul Farris (Linda) of Kings Mountain, NC and sister Gail Whitehurst (Rick) of Winston Salem, NC.
