The life and persona of Mrs. Pharr was one of the Virtuous Woman. She lived a life of grace, discretion, and wisdom. Mrs. Pharr would always greet individuals with a spirit of jubilee. Her wisdom manifested itself in her hesitation to quickly speak for she knew the beauty in adamantly listening and slowly speaking. Being a light for others was the essence of Mrs. Pharr's life. Her earnest desire was for God to be pleased with her and how she reflected God's grace toward others. Her family and friends choose not to accept the passing of Mrs. Pharr as a loss, but rather a transition to her heavenly home.
