Mary Joan Farrar's Obituary
Mary (Zervantian) Farrar
September 19, 1933 - July 10, 2016
Mary was born, raised, and lived most of her life in Tacoma Washington. She suffered several strokes last year and passed peacefully under the care of hospice, surrounded by loved ones, in Des Moines Washington.
Mary will be remembered for her great cooking and charitable nature. From feeding the homeless to sewing clothes for orphanages abroad, she kept herself busy helping others. She is survived by her son, Bill, daughter, Marie, granddaughters Haley and Ciara, and her beloved dog, Emilie.
A celebration of life and scattering of ashes will be held at a later date. In memory of Mary, suggested donations to your local food bank or Old Dog Haven: olddoghaven.org
