Murfreesboro lost two community legends Wednesday: Pat Farrer passed away after a battle with cancer and Matt Murfree III died while in Washington, DC.

Pat Farrer was married to Charlie Farrer, and over the years their family construction company came to the aid of many who were victims of fires, storms and disasters. The Farrer's also developed much property in the area for retail as well as self-storage outlets. She was also the retired co-owner of International Travel Agency and helped to make the travel dreams of many come true over the years.

Often friends bring food to the funeral home for the family, and Charlie requests that instead of bringing food for them to instead take it to an individual in need or organizations like Room In The Inn or Journey Home. He said, "I really think that's what Pat would have wanted."
