CORTLAND -- Mary Rose Farnham, 81, peacefully passed away at Over The Rainbow Family Home, where she was a resident for five years, on Monday July 26, 2021, surrounded by her loved ones.
Mary Rose was born on Aug. 23, 1939, in Cortland, the daughter of the late Hermer and Edna Gillian McLaughlin.
She married the love of her life, Phillip Farnham, on Feb. 14, 1956, and they shared 53 wonderful years together before Phillip's passing in 2009.
She was a licensed beautician for more than 40 years. Mary Rose was a skilled crafter, especially when it came to quilting, sewing and cross-stitching. She loved board games and word searches. Back in the day, she really enjoyed boating with Phillip and camping. Mary Rose was a dog obedience instructor and showed some of her dogs in competition. Her favorite thing to do was to spend time with her family; they were her everything.
She will be deeply missed by her children, Bobbi (Tommy) Thompson and Kimberly (John) Puleo; her grandchildren, Steven Cravalho and LeAnn Thompson; her great-granddaughter, Madison Cravalho; her niece, Shari Baxter; numerous nieces and nephews; and many other family and friends.
Besides her parents and her husband, Mary Rose was preceded in death by her siblings, Carol Baxter and Richard McLaughlin.
