RITA M. FARRELL
Age 97 of Boynton Beach, FL passed away at Heartland Nursing Home on July 20, 2023 surrounded by family.
Born April 2, 1926 in Old Town, Maine, Rita attended Business School after High School and graduated with a degree in business. She was a volunteer during the Depression and World War II and delivered supplies needed to the most unfortunate families. Later Rita met John D. Farrell, a soldier and traveled to Omaha, Nebraska to marry him. A true love story indeed. After many years John and Rita moved to Miami where they raised their 3 children.
Rita will be lovingly remembered by her loving children, Clifford, Suzanne, Patricia and doting grandchildren, Ali, Saeed, Layla, Eric, Amanda and Louis. Rita had 4 great grandchildren who will miss her terribly and loved her so very much. Their names are Jasmine, Mason, Logan, Ryan and a baby girl on the way named Gianna. Rita also had a son-in-law named Mohsen who will miss her terribly and a second son-in-law named Don who was close to her.
Rita was predeceased by her husband John D. Farrell.
Rita was the sunshine of everyone’s life, she had so much love and compassion for everyone and whoever knew her loved her. She was generous, kind, loving, strong and positive. She made us laugh, she enjoyed her puppies, she loved dancing, and loved gardening. Rita would never hold a grudge against anyone. She always wanted to love, to be loved, and be happy. Rita was especially close to her daughter Patricia, and her granddaughter Layla. The three of them were inseparable. They did so much together, they had such a bond with her. She will forever be remembered by the many lives she touched with her gentle soul she was yet feisty, and playful. Rita was truly an Angel marked by God to change our lives forever. We will miss you mom, grandma, mima, me’merre, and will always carry you in our hearts, and never forget your sweet memories and all the great virtues you have taught us along the way. You will always be loved and never forgotten. Thank you for your courage, strength, resilience and changing our lives forever.
REST IN PEACE
We love you
