Genevieve M Farley

Born Genevieve Coffey in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, she graduated from Bay Ridge High School there. She lived in her native community for most of her life until relocating to Asbury, N.J., in 1976. She had resided in Huguenot with her daughter and son-in-law, Barbara and James Columbo, for seven years.

Known as an easygoing, loving woman, Mrs. Farley never got frazzled, her family said.

She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Farley was generous, and she and her husband took their children and their families on many tropical cruise vacations through the years.

Her husband of 69 years, Edward J., died in 2007, but her family remembers their close relationship.

“They were inseparable,’’ said her daughter, Dawn Allen. “Wherever they went, they went together. They were very close.’’

Mrs. Farley was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the William E. Coffey Post, American Legion, in Brooklyn.

She enjoyed doing crossword puzzles and was an avid reader.

Mrs. Farley was a parishioner of Our Lady Star of the Sea R.C. Church, Huguenot.

Along with her daughters, Barbara and Dawn, surviving are her son, Bruce Farley; eight grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.

The funeral will be Wednesday from the Casey Funeral Home, Castleton Corners, with a mass at 10 a.m. in Our Lady Star of the Sea Church. Burial will follow in Resurrection Cemetery, Pleasant Plains.
