Our Family


The Faris Family Judy Ripley (Believe or Not) and Terry Faris were married on July 20, 1968.

God has blessed us with a wonderful family.

Our daughters, Tracy and Lori, were both born in the old Corbin Hospital during our ministry in Williamsburg (1971-1975).

Tracy and her husband, Brandy Rexford, have 2 daughters, Ali-Hope age 8, and Anna Grace age 4. They live in Wilmore, Ky. Tracy is a Nurse in the Intensive Care Unit of St. Joseph Hospital in Lexington, and Brandy teaches at Henry Clay High School in Lexington. Another granddaughter is coming into our life in March of 2006. Tracy and Brandy are going to China, and will bring home with them their adopted 1 year old daughter, Abigail Joy Rexford.

Lori lives in Nicholasville, and works in Wilmore at the Early Learning Center and greatly enjoys being with the children. She is dating Nate Fitch, and they have been good friends since our ministry at Wilmore UMC (1987-1991).

Judy is a retired public school teacher and co-pilot, as we travel and serve together across the Corbin District. Together we enjoy tennis, trail biking, boating, fishing and being "Gigi and Papaw". We are only 1 and ½ hours from our children and grandchildren.

The recent family photo was taken at Brandy and Tracy's home in Wilmore, Ky., during Terry's 60th Birthday Celebration.
