Mrs. Alma Cleo Luna Farley, age 90 of Sparta, passed away Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at her residence surrounded by her loving family.

Alma was born May 3, 1935 in Sparta, Tennessee. She lived many years in Illinois where she was an active member of Park Forest South  Baptist Church. She enjoyed serving as a Sunday School teacher, along with teaching a crafting class at the Senior Citizens Center.
