Today is January 8, 2023.  It has been 4 years since mom passed....and we all miss her.  Looking through the pictures made me smile and remember the happy times.....may God's blessings shine upon you and dad as we remember this sad day.

A rainy cloudy day was the backdrop for mom's funeral mass.  It seemed appropriate that it was raining as I recalled how my mom told me about her own mother's funeral....icy, cold and etched in her mind. You see she was just a teenager when her mother passed....and my mom marveled at living almost twice as long.
The day was filled with wonderful condolences and stories from her many friends at Our Lady of Lourdes and her home at The Village at NorthRidge. The flowers, cards, and support were so uplifting - I know she was smiling.  As I drove home just two days later with a car packed full of memories it was still raining...but just over half way thru the 5 hour trip this appeared and I thought to myself..."thanks, mom for keeping the drive beautiful - I Love You."

Mary Farley, age 92 passed away Tuesday, January 8, 2018 home in Northridge surrounded by her family.

 She was born April 4, 1926 in Brooklyn New York to John and Gertrude Printon.  Mary was passionate about her family, travel, the arts and her faith.  She had unique expertise in financial markets having earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s in economics.  Some of her favorite times were spent skiing with her family and playing tennis with her husband. Mary is a 60-year parishioner of Our Lady of Lourdes in Northridge, where she attended daily mass with her husband and found great fulfillment in her faith.

She is predeceased by her husband of 54 years Ed Farley and her siblings Jane Dunn and John Printon. She is survived by her children Ed (Gayle), Tom (Debbie), Paul (Holly), Jane (Glen) and Greg (Lisa) along with her six grandchildren, Brett, Tim, TJ, Shannon, Jared and Jillian. 

Thanks to all for their support and memories
Ed, Tom, Paul, Jane and Greg

I have known Mary for more than 15 years. To me she was the perfect lady. She loved to look at beautiful things around her. She strived for perfection: we changed her patio garden three times! Before finally settling for a beautiful succulent garden, she had a rose garden with a flowering vine. She scoured nurseries to find the perfect plants and pots. She moved plants around to find the perfect spot in the patio so she could enjoy them even when she was sitting in her living room.
I enjoyed being with her, our visits to nurseries, our conversations. I am already missing her and her ready smiles. I have been blessed and forever grateful to have her as a friend. Goodbye, Mary, thank you  for the beautiful memories.   Love you,   Lina

Love you Grandma!  Thank you for being such a wonderful mother-in-law and grandma to TJ, Shannon and me.  I am so grateful to have been part of your family for the past 40+ years!  Love you❤️❤️❤️

We appreciate your visiting the memorial site for our mom, Mary Farley.  Please share stories and memories.  

Many thanks,
Ed, Tom, Paul, Jane, Greg
