Winston-Salem Carrier Hailed As a Hero For Saving Elderly Woman’s Life While on His Route

1/13/19 – A normal workday to deliver packages in December 2013 turned into a heartpounding moment for one North Carolina postal carrier.

Willie Farrow never did encounter a life-threatening situation throughout his 14 years of working with the U.S. Postal Service. So when he stumbled upon such a scene one winter day in 2013, he sprang into action.

That evening, as Farrow arrived at the home of his regular customer, Ann Richards, in Winston-Salem, he noticed something amiss. Strangely, the Christmas lights at her Country Club Road home were not turned on.

Peering through her window, Farrow saw the elderly woman lying on the floor, and to his horror, he noticed some blood.

Farrow knocked on the glass, but she was unresponsive.

“It looked like a lot of items had been pulled off the shelves. Maybe she was reaching up, you know, to try and get up off the floor, and couldn’t at the time,” Farrow told WXII12.

The terrifying sight left Farrow worried. He immediately called 911 and stayed with Richards until first responders arrived on the scene. Epoch Times
