Farr, Jacqueline Marshall

Jacqueline May Marshall Farr died on September 17, 2022. She was born on July 22, 1949 in Draper, Virginia to Kinard William Marshall and Glenna Bell Turman, both deceased.

While Jackie traveled far and had various homes throughout her life, living in Floyd for 30 years, she returned twice to the cabin of her birth in Hiwasee, Virginia, coming back to Floyd for a time. Before her passing, she lived in Draper in a small cottage where she grew flowers and shared her days with friends and family. She did, indeed come full circle. Her final days were spent in Heritage Hall, which Jackie called “Green Acres,” where she was grateful and gracious for all the care she received.

Jacqueline May lived a most diverse and full life as a dedicated mother to the children she brought into this world as well as the ones she was blessed with throughout her days, as a partner, and as a friend to many who cared for and cherished her. She loved gardening, flowers, cats, reading, talking spiritual philosophy, music and so much more. She died with love and gratitude in her heart.

A Celebration and Honoring of Jacqueline May Marshall Farr (AKA Jackie) will be held at the Methodist Church on Main Street, Floyd on October 8, 2022 at 2:00 PM. A reception follows in the church hall where we will have tea, coffee and desserts. If you can bring a sweet treat in remembrance of Jackie, please do. Chocolate was one of her favorites.
