Daniel Farrell Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Legacy Growney Funeral Home on Jan. 14, 2026.
Daniel Farrell, a devoted husband, father, and veteran, passed away peacefully on January 10, 2026, at the age of 92. Born on February 5, 1933, Daniel lived a life defined by hard work, service to his country, and an unwavering commitment to his family.

A proud veteran, Daniel served with honor in the Korean War. Upon returning home, he began a long career as a truck driver, navigating the roads with the same steady hand and reliability he brought to all aspects of his life. He later transitioned into management, overseeing parking operations for APCOA at both Newark and Stewart International Airports before his retirement.

At the heart of Daniel's world was his wife, Marian. Their 72-year marriage was a testament to enduring love and partnership, a rare and beautiful milestone that served as an inspiration to everyone who knew them.

Daniel's legacy continues through his two daughters, Deborah Clarke, and Dana Farrell-Famiglietti. Two grandchildren, David Clarke and Denise Dobranski. Along with 8 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren.

A service to honor Daniel's life and military service will be held Saturday between 12-4 pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to a veteran's charity of your choice in Daniel Farrell's name.
