Carole Farrell Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Carole Alice Farrell, formally of Garnerville, NY, passed away peacefully with family by her side on February 4, after a brief illness. She was 83.
Carole was born on April 18, 1939 in New York City to parents Alfred and Helen (Zwernemann) Loomer. Carole graduated in 1957 from Mother Cabrini High School in Washington Heights. After high school she took a position with the New York Telephone Company. Her daily walks to work brought her past a firehouse on 181st Street in Manhattan, where she would catch the attention of her future husband, Ray.
They married February 27, 1960. In 1966 these two young city kids moved to Garnerville, NY, a place they called home for more than 55 years. Carole and Ray raised 5 sons; Raymond Jr., David, Dennis, Michael, and Andrew.
Carole enjoyed dancing, bowling, knitting, crocheting, ceramics, reading and family gatherings. Carole was predeceased by her husband Ray (62 years of marriage) and sons David and Dennis.
She is survived by her sons Raymond Jr. (Eileen), Michael (Marta), Andrew, daughter-in-law Lori (Dennis); grandchildren Amy (Michael) Quinn, Dennis, Suzanne, Betsy, Kathleen, Kelsey, Colleen, Todd (Emily) Sutherland, Michael Sutherland, great-grandchildren; Declan, Brigid, Garrett, Ava, and Cameron.
She is also survived by her sisters Helen (Ed) Murray, Madeline Quinn, and brother-in-law John Farrell, along with many cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews.

I am so sorry for your loss Ray & Eileen, Mike & Marta and Andy, as well as all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. We were all lucky to have had her touch our lives and she will be remembered so fondly for many years to come. She will be sorely missed but Uncle Ray, Dennis, David, my mom, Dianne, Uncle John, Aunt Joanie, Aunt Rita, Aunt Georgia, little Grandma and so many others joyfully waited her arrival. Lets let this bring our families closer together like our parents would all want it to be like. Exactly like it was when we were growing up. Much love to all.
