In Loving Memory of Evelyn Farmer A Life Remembered with Truth, Dignity, and Grace
The Columbus community is coming together to honor the life of 68-year-old Evelyn Farmer, whose passing on Saturday, November 15, 2025, has touched the hearts of family, neighbors, and all who knew her. Found inside her home in the 4800 block of Josephine Street, Evelyn’s death initially stirred confusion and concern as early public reports painted an inaccurate picture of her final moments. Today, the Columbus Police Department, together with the Medical Examiner’s Office, is working to ensure her story is told with dignity and clarity.
Authorities have now confirmed that Evelyn passed away from natural causes. While dogs present in the home caused injuries to her body, the Medical Examiner has made it clear that those injuries occurred after her passing, not before. She did not suffer, nor was her death the result of an attack. The Columbus Police Department released a correction to honor Evelyn’s memory, protect her family from unnecessary pain, and ensure that the truth is known.
For those who loved Evelyn, the correction brings a bittersweet sense of relief—relief that she did not die in fear or violence, and sadness that misinformation overshadowed the graceful woman she was. Friends, neighbors, and family members describe Evelyn as gentle, soft-spoken, and warm-hearted. She was the type of person who greeted everyone with kindness, who listened more than she spoke, and who never hesitated to share what little she had with those in need.
Evelyn lived a quiet and humble life, but one filled with significance to the people around her. She kept close relationships with her neighbors, checked on others faithfully, and was known to brighten a room simply by entering it. Her love for her home and her pets was well-known—they were part of her daily life, her comfort, and her solace. The news that confusion regarding her death has now been resolved brings peace to those who cherished her presence.
As the community mourns her passing, many are reflecting on the gentle legacy she leaves behind—a legacy of compassion, peaceful living, and a deep appreciation for the simple but meaningful moments of life. Her death serves as a poignant reminder to cherish our loved ones, reach out to neighbors, and hold tightly to the truth, especially in moments of grief.
The Columbus Police Department’s clarification has helped restore dignity to Evelyn’s story. It ensures that she will be remembered not for rumors or tragic assumptions, but for the beautiful life she lived, the kindness she shared, and the love she quietly spread to everyone around her.
Today, and in the days ahead, her family and community mourn not only the loss of a cherished woman but also the end of a life that mattered deeply. They take comfort in knowing her final moments were peaceful, and that her story is now told with accuracy and respect.
Evelyn Farmer, 68, will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her warm heart, and the love she gave so freely. May she rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the comfort she brought to so many during her life.
