Margaret “Margie” Teresa Farren

Margie – explorer, seeker, writer, poet, dear friend, sweet caregiver and healer, tireless Worker, your independent, strong, caring, creative, kind and resilient soul is so cherished.

Companion of nature (even bugs), flowers, the sound of birds, the ocean, beachcombing for driftwood, seaglass, shells and stones… champion of animals (especially lambs, horses and bears), weaver, collage maker, folk and celtic music enthusiast, pertinacious punster – you were happiest living on your own in the woods by the pond in “Shinbone Shack”. Perhaps the winds of time have finally “taken you back to Shinbone Shack”.

You will continue to be remembered and carried by so many… those your deep spirit touched, those your generous heart listened to and helped, those you lifted to more laughter through your unbound joy, those you loved, and those who loved you. Fare thee well, Margie…

Those seeds of love and life you planted with so many while you were here will continue to blossom and be shared. Some are captured here in your favorite poem by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik…

FRIENDSHIP

“Oh, the comfort – the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,

Having neither to weigh thoughts,

Nor measure words – but pouring them

All right out – just as they are –

Chaff and grain together –

Certain that a faithful hand will

Take and sift them –

Keep what is worth keeping –

And with the breath of kindness

Blow the rest away.”
