Patricia (Dow) Farrell

Lakeland, FL - Patricia Ann (Dow) Farrell, age 79, most recently of Lakeland FL, passed away July 20, 2025 in her home surrounded by her family. She was born May 10, 1946 in Concord, NH to Mary and Paul Dow.

Pat grew up in Penacook, NH and graduated from Penacook High (1964). She went on to Keene State College where she received a degree in education (1968), following in her mother's footsteps of being a teacher. After raising her daughters, Pat spent her later career working with children with autism and touched the lives of many students and staff at various school systems throughout New Hampshire and Maine.

After marrying Robert Farrell in 1974, she lived in Windsor, CT; Ringwood, NJ; Milford, NH; and Winslow, ME before retiring to Heatherwood Village in Lakeland, FL. At Heatherwood, Pat was active in book clubs, bowling, and spent most mornings at the community pool chatting with her friends while walking the pool's blue line.

She is survived by her husband of 51 years; her sister, Jean Clark (Concord, NH), and both of her daughters, Kathleen Farrell (Boscawen, NH) and Kelly Farrell (Windsor, VT). She will be missed by her grandchildren Logan and Savannah Farrell-Wright, her son-in-law Doug Davis; as well as her nieces and nephews.

Condolences may be sent to 104 N. Water Street, Boscawen, NH 03303; in lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Autism Speaks, in Pat's honor. The family will hold a private burial in the fall.
