Babe was born on Nov. 19, 1923 in Kansas City, MO to Thomas and Eda Marie Fahey. She is survived by her husband, Gerald J.

As a devoted and faithful wife she was always at Gerald’s side wherever his work as an engineer and senior manager took them. Together, they resided abroad in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, and Iran, and stateside in Texas and Oklahoma before retiring in 1996 to their long-time home at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Babe was a beloved wife and mother and is greatly missed. Online condolences may be made at mcgilleymidtownchapel.com.
