Frances Louise (Farmer) Dyer, 90, passed away January 8, 2025 at Willard Walker Hospice Home in Fayetteville, AR.

She was born March 5, 1934, in Youngstown, Ohio to the late James and Jeannett (Weaver) Farmer.

Her first love was to the Lord Jesus Christ. Her family was the love of her life. She cherished each and every one of them. Being a mother and grandmother was her greatest joy. Louise loved spending time with them all!

She lived a life giving to others. Everyone who knew her knew her love of cooking. Her favorite place was in her kitchen. Over the years she was known for her bread making and desserts. She did missionary work in an orphanage in Guatemala with her son and grandsons. She would cook meals for the volunteer workers. She mastered the art of porcelain doll making which she loved also teaching in her home. Louise loved playing cards and enjoyed gospel music and just being around family and friends.
