Caregiver Spotlight: Kermit Farmer – Auburn, AL

Meet Kermit Farmer, a dedicated patient and caregiver advocate who joined DDF on Capitol Hill for our Annual Advocacy Day, honoring his late wife, Dr. Linda Lee Farmer. Kermit is an author, podcaster, and entrepreneur who continues to keep his wife’s legacy alive.

In his heartfelt memoir, Kermit shares the twenty-year love story between himself and Linda, an oncologist, devoted mother, and passionate friend. From countless attempts to woo a wife who seemed un-wooable to badly timed jokes, Kermit’s story will have you wiping your eyes and rolling with laughter. Linda’s relentless pursuit to love and serve her patients until her last breath is a testament to her strength of spirit, showing that even in the claws of cancer, love and humor can survive.
