She is also preceded in death by a brother, Clyde Rexrode, and a sister, Freda Bennett; a son-in-law, James Grimm; and one great-grandson, Travis M. Fancher.
Mrs. Fancher was a member of the Farmington Main Street UMC, where she was active since 1945, serving on various committees and active in the United Methodist Women.
She was a homemaker who enjoyed baking various baked goods, including pepperoni rolls, and also enjoyed sewing, quilting and crocheting. She was an avid reader, especially her Bible. She enjoyed spending time with her family, coloring and working word-search puzzles with her great grandchildren.
