Sigrid Farwell Romsos died peacefully in her sleep on January 20, 2023, in her home in Loveland, CO. She was born in Ithaca, NY, the second of four daughters of Peter and Harriette Olafson. She earned a BA in English Literature from Cornell Univ, an MA in Dance & Drama from Univ of Colo, and an MA in Counseling from Univ of No. Colo. Sigrid was loving, intelligent, optimistic, talented, energetic, adventurous, an equestrienne, and an avid reader. She loved theatre productions, teaching children and shared a lifetime of happy and sad times with her family. Most notably, she was a steadfast and loving wife to her two husbands and mother to her children. Sigrid married Ted Farwell, of Massachusetts, in 1954 and had three children: Meghan, Peter and Eric. Sigrid began her teaching career by running ballet schools in their California and then New Hampshire homes. In 1968, the family moved to Evergreen, CO, and Sigrid became an accredited teacher and taught at Evergreen Jr HS. The family later moved to Boulder, where she taught at Platt Jr High and Fairview HS. She co-founded a clothing store (BDF Reflections on the Pearl St Mall) and did image consulting with clients' colors. She participated in Geneva Group, a spiritually based group. In the 90's, Sigrid started a successful therapy practice combining psychology and counseling with drama called "Psychodrama." Sigrid & Ted retired after living in Boulder for 30 years. They traveled in their RV, and lived on the W. Slope, CA and ID, settling in Coeur d'Alene, ID. Sigrid served as Youth Director at the Unity Church. In 2008, Sigrid and Ted moved to Longmont to be closer to family, and Sigrid joined the staff at Columbine Unity as Youth Director. After Ted died in 2015, Sigrid met, dated and married Ron Romsos.
