 FARMER, EVELYN G. (ANDERSON) age 91, was born March 30, 1923 on a farm in Meeker County, MN to Ernest and Frieda Anderson. She passed away February 13, 2015 after a brief illness. Wife, mother, and miracle worker, she raised six children on a school teacher's salary. Evelyn met and married Paul Farmer after a chance encounter in Minneapolis when he missed a train to Chicago. They settled in Albuq. in 1945 after Paul returned from serving in WWII. She joined St. Paul's Lutheran Church that year, dedicating her time, teaching Sunday School, and serving as Sunday School Director for ten years. While balancing married life and child rearing, she held a brief career at Carpenter Paper Co. Evelyn had a keen interest in tracking the weather and couldn't resist enjoying a chocolate Frosty from Wendy's. She was preceded in death by husband Paul and brothers Ed and Severin Anderson. She is survived by brothers Johnny, Louis and Marvin; daughter Pauletta McNeill (Richard); sons John (Marsha), Duane, Glenn, David (Jenifer), and Gary; daughter-in-law Marty; nine grandchildren; eight great- grandchildren; and her cat, Angel. A memorial service is planned for March 28th, 1:00 pm at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 1100 Indian School Rd. NE. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to St. Paul's. THANK YOU, MOM. WE LOVE YOU.
