Sandra "Sandy" Farmer

Sandy Farmer, a long-time resident of Wenatchee, went to be with her Lord and Savior August 9, 2025, at the age of 88. Sandy was born to Marion and Zelma Bowles on November 14, 1936, in Grangeville, Idaho. She was the youngest of six children and joined her siblings, Betty, Donna, Stuart, Buck, Larry, and Barbara. Grangeville is the same location where she later met her husband of 59 years, Del Farmer. Del had moved to the area to find work in the logging industry. They married in 1955 and spent the first few years of their marriage in the area to take advantage of the opportunities in logging. Sandy and Del eventually relocated to Eureka, CA, where they would welcome their first child, a daughter named Caron. A short time later, they would again relocate, this time to Kennewick, Washington, where her husband, Del, worked for the Carnation company. Eventually, Del started his own business. Success found him branching out to the Wenatchee area, and the family would ultimately move and settle in the Wenatchee Valley in 1967. Sandy avidly supported her husband’s business and could often be found in her carefully maintained gardens, hiking in the mountains, or perfecting her culinary skills in the home kitchen. She was known to have a cup of coffee in hand (or at least nearby) from the time she got up until she was ready for bed. Sandy kept an immaculate house that welcomed guests and felt like home to many. Together, Sandy and Del loved to travel. They purchased a motor home later in life and spent years together traveling the country. They made camping a family tradition – everyone looked forward to Sandy’s desserts and delicious meals. Sandy was a faithful member of Wenatchee First Assembly for many years. She is survived by her four children: Caron George, Steve (Shelly) Farmer, Kay (Loren) Clark, all of Wenatchee, and Jacqui (Rick) Inskeep of Columbia Falls, Montana; 8 grandchildren: Amanda (Neil) Huffaker, Jeri (Tony) Sandoval, Kyle (Kaitlyn) Farmer, Vanessa (Ty) McGrew, Andy (Elizabeth) Jones, Brycen Farmer, Tyler Jones, and Garet Gifford; 21 great grandchildren: Hallie Huffaker, Dylan Grant, Manny (Khyra) George IV, Shane Huffaker, Faith (Gage) Melton, Max George, Carson Huffaker, Laci Grant, Ava Huffaker, Brooklyn Farmer, Lewis Farmer, Scarlett Sandoval, Norah McGrew, Gracie Jones, Austin Jones, Charlotte Farmer, Rain Sandoval, Isla Farmer, Milly McGrew, Logan Jones, Kane McGrew, Paityn Farmer, Ruby Sandoval, and Olivia Farmer; and 2 great, great grandchildren: Dani Rae Tarango and Colter Melton. She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings Betty, Donna, Barbara, Larry, and grandson Manny George III. A Celebration of Sandra’s life will be held on Friday, August 15th, 10:00 am at Wenatchee First Assembly: 1520 McKittrick St., Wenatchee. Concluding services and interment will follow at Wenatchee Cemetery. Arrangements are by Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatchee.
