Edna Jane Farr

Johns Island - Edna Jane "Janie" Farr, 95, of Johns Island, South Carolina, entered into eternal rest on Sunday, February 22, 2026. Her memorial service will be held Tuesday, March 3, 2026 in First Scotts Presbyterian Church at 1pm with a reception and celebration of life to follow. Arrangements by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc. Downtown Chapel.

Janie was born July 4, 1930 in Birmingham, Alabama, daughter of the late Henry Naff and Gladys Jolly Naff. Janie was known for sharing sunshine with smiles, hugs, love, and plenty of conversation with everyone she met. She was a faithful, active member of First Scots Presbyterian Church for 60 years. Through her church, she volunteered to serve for many community needs, such as Meals on Wheels, the Soup Kitchen, Stephen Ministry, knitting prayer shawls, and Habitat for Humanity. She was also a beloved member of her Koinonia group and women's circle. Janie always found joy in volunteering and helping others. Her additional volunteer work included the SPCA, Roper Hospital, and working with students in her daughter's first grade classroom for 20 years. Janie was also a member of the Country Club of Charleston for almost 6 decades. She enjoyed playing golf and bridge with her many friends. She was an avid gardener who really loved spending time outside each day. Janie was also an amazing cook and baker. She loved having family dinners and celebrations where she could share her talents with others. Janie was truly an amazing human being, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her children, Kemble Farr, Jr. of Lexington, SC and Cynthia Branch (Anthony) of Johns Island, SC; 8 grandchildren, Britt Farr, Ashleigh Branch, Patrick Parada (Suzanne), Michael Branch (Emerald), Martin Branch (Emilie), Brian Farr (Kimberly), David Farr, III (Emily), and Juliet Chambers (Jason); 12 great-grandchildren, Isla, Noah, Michael, Tate, Marie-Louise, Anabelle, Joseph, Cecilia, Liam, Gunner, Evie, and Jessamine. In addition to her parents, Janie was preceded in death by her husband, David Kemble Farr; daughter, Deborah Farr; and siblings, Henry, Marion, and Charles.
