I am a former student of Dr. Barbara Farrell, though she always encouraged us to call her "Barbara" after graduation. Somehow, I could never quite do it - she would always be Dr. Farrell to me, out of deep respect and gratitude.

Dr. Farrell had a profound impact on my life. She challenged me, believed in me, and helped shape the way I think and lead today. I feel incredibly fortunate that we stayed in touch after graduation and that I was able to tell her how much she meant to me.

She will be deeply missed, and her influence will live on in the many students whose lives she changed - mine especially.

I am a former student of Dr Farrell. I went onto become a CPA in 2004 simply because of her inspiration and dedication to my education. She made lasting marks on the field and is a pioneer! Thank you! I will miss you!!!!

I can never express all that Prof Farrell taught me. I´m a better accountant because she was my professor. Family - know your mother leaves an amazing legacy, touching thousands of lives.

Dr. Farrell was such an influential person for me at Pace University. She is one of the main reasons why I chose my career path and I am forever indebted to her. May she rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
