Mildred Farrer Burke Harris, passed away from this life into her eternal life on June 28, 2025. 

She was born April 30, 1936, in Atkins, Arkansas to A.G. and Thelma Smith Farrer- But most importantly, her spiritual birth when she accepted Jesus as her personal Savior was November 1954 at Liberty Baptist Church, Mablevale, Arkansas. 

She was retired from Prescott Manufacturing, a charter member of Hope Missionary Baptist Church, Little Rock, where she was involved in the organizations of the church. She was a member of New Liberty Baptist Church. 

She loved her large family and was proud when they all came for Thanksgiving and other holidays. She felt so blessed to have lived to see her 5th generation. Their home was always filled with love; the love of music and singing was instilled into her family.
