Jennifer "Rosie" Farris

Jennifer "Rosie" Farris, 37, of Louisville, Kentucky, peacefully passed away on Wednesday, March 18, 2026.

Rosie was a devoted and loving partner, mother, sister, and friend whose spirit brightened the lives of all who knew her. Known affectionately as a “nosy Rosie” and the neighborhood mom, she had an extraordinary gift for always looking after others, offering care and kindness without hesitation. Her strength and resilience shone through every challenge life presented, always met with a warm smile and unwavering determination.

In her free moments, Rosie found joy in the simple pleasures of life — listening to a wide range of music, immersing herself in the beauty of nature through hiking, and most importantly, cherishing time spent with her beloved family. Her loving presence will be deeply missed by everyone privileged to have shared in her life.

Rosie was born on February 5, 1989, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Daryl Payton and Judy Druen. She is preceded in death by her mother, Judy Druen, and her son, William Bates.

She is survived by her father, Daryl Payton; her daughters, Selena Bates and Ashley Huck; her son, Christopher Bates, Jr.; her sisters, Kristina (Nick) Payton, Christy (Brian) Hayse, Crystal (Robert) Wilcox; her brothers, Joshua (Amy) Payton, Robert Farris, Chris Coons; children's father, Christopher Bates, Sr., along with many extended family members and friends who will treasure her memory forever.
