Patricia H. Farrar

Patricia Farrar, longtime Lubbock resident, passed away peacefully at her home on March 19th. Pat was born on August 5, 1926 in Mooreton, North Dakota. At age 10, Pat and her family and other relatives moved to Idaho in 1936. In 1941, the family and some relatives moved to the Lubbock area and continued their farming endeavors in west Texas. Pat attended Lubbock High for one year and later graduated from Frenship High in 1944 as the valedictorian of her class. Pat then completed her formal education at Texas Tech.

In 1946, Patricia married Harold S. Farrar, also a graduate of Frenship High, and the son of Frenship superintendent G.L. Farrar. To this union, two sons were born, Greg in 1949 and Kevan in 1954. Pat was a stay-at-home mom until both sons were in school. With both sons in school, Pat began a 27 year career with the Lubbock Independent School District as an elementary school secretary.

Pat picked this position because it enabled her to work only when her two boys were in school. Pat was a very devoted wife, mother, friend, and school employee. Pat’s long and successful life was surrounded by many loving friends and family members. According to Pat, her happiest moments were the birth of her two sons, the birth of her granddaughter Lindsay, and the birth of her great-grandchildren, Talyn and Teagn.

Patricia was preceded in death by her parents: Frank and Lillian Hafner, two sisters: Darlene and Lorraine, a brother, Lee, her husband, Harold, and her youngest son, Kevan, and many close friends and co-workers.

Patricia is survived by a sister, Kathleen , her oldest son, Greg, a granddaughter, Lindsay and husband, Jason, four great-grandchildren, three special daughters-in-law, and long-time friend and companion Harold Hoffman.

Memorial gifts can be made to Hospice of the South Plains in Lubbock.
