Jeanne Farnam Obituary
Jeanne Farnam passed away peacefully on December 12 at the age of 83. She was preceded in death by William, her husband of 31 years, and son Michael. She was the youngest of four girls born to Benjamin and Louise O'Neill in Chicago, Ill. Having moved to Bremerton during WWII where her father worked in the shipyards, she met and married the love of her life, William in 1951, while he was serving in the Marine Corps. She is survived by 8 children: Larry and wife Colleen, David and wife Lisa, Thomas and wife Olga, Janice, Mary K. and husband John, Greg, Susan and husband Doug, Patricia, 20 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren.
She had a strong faith in Christ which was the foundation of her life. Her kindness, generosity, and unconditional love for us, and others, was her gift to us and an example for our lives.
Our blessing to you Mom:
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields.
Until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
A funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 AM, Wednesday, Dec. 16 at

My sweet Grandma Jeanne. I thank the Lord above for giving me YOU! Words cannot explain how much you meant to me. My friends and family knew how important you were to me. Only way I can describe my Grandma is she was a true angel on Earth. I was truly blessed to be so close to her. I love you Grandma. I miss you so much right now...may you rest in the Lord's peace. Until i see you again.... Your loving Grandaughter, MICHELLE
