TULSA, Oklahoma -
A mother whose daughter was murdered at a Girl Scout camp in Mayes County 44 years ago has been a force for change over the years for victims’ rights.
On the 40th anniversary of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, she’s still fighting to give victims a voice.
Sheri Farmer said losing her daughter Lori Farmer in 1977 changed her life forever, and she has spoken up since that day to make sure Lori s life will always matter.
Sheri said Lori was smart, strong, loving and the oldest of five kids. She loved when a new baby arrived. She was the quintessential oldest child, and she took care of everyone, said Sheri.
