Mary E. Farrell
Mary Farrell Obituary
Betty was a devoted mother to Sharon F. Shaw; the late James J. Farrell (Debbie); Colleen Robine (Matt); Erin Pettenati (Jeff); Kathleen Anselmo; and the late Mary Elizabeth Bolton (Gilbert). She was endlessly proud of her 17 grandchildren and delighted in the joy of watching her family grow to include 25 great-grandchildren, with two more on the way. Among them, she held a special place in her heart for her great-granddaughter, Louisa C. Pettenati, who predeceased her.
Known for her kindness and sense of humor, she touched countless lives with her generosity of spirit and unwavering love. Her legacy lives on in the strong, loving family she built and the values she instilled: faith, perseverance, and unconditional love.
A Mass of Christian Burial took place at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Olney, MD, Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at 10 a.m. Interment to follow at Gate of Heaven Catholic Cemetery.
