Obituary for Shalbajean Mable Farren
Addison
Shalbajean "Mammie" Farren age 84 of Addison, fell asleep in the arms of Jesus, surrounded by her family, unexpectedly on December 3, 2023. She was born on August 1, 1939 in Harrington to the late Sidney and Beryl (Seavey) Mitchell.
Shalba graduated from Harrington High School in 1957. She married her best friend and love of her life, Phillip Farren, on July 2, 1959. She was blessed with a large and loving family.
She was very dedicated to her Lord and Savior, Jesus, and lived out a life of faith that was evident to all who knew her. She was a lifelong member of the Harrington Advent Christian church, now Down East Christian church.
“Mammie” truly lived life to the fullest. A permanent fixture at any family gathering or sporting event, she was her grandkids’ and great-grandkids #1 fan. If there was a baby nearby, Mammie would be “by lowing”. She was the official baby whisperer. She was dearly loved by faculty members and students alike at Harrington Elementary School where she worked for many years.
Shalba is survived by her son Sid and wife Dianne, son Everett and wife Paula, daughter Pam Libby and husband Jeff, and son Phillip ll and wife Missy; grandchildren: April and the father of her children, Jeff, Mitchell and wife, Jenn, Tabatha, Charles, Jeffrey and wife, Erin, Joseph, and wife Bre, Tiffany and husband, Tim, Nancy, Heather, and Braden, along with many great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Phillip, sister Yvonne and her husband Larry, and parents, Parents-in-law, Prescott and Nataline Farren, Sisters-in-law, Elaine, Rosalee, Barbara and husband Everett, Sandra, and Brother-in-law Buddy.
She will be missed greatly by so many—family and many special friends, including Gail Toby, Brenda Beal her lifelong friend and cousin, Christina Gott. She was “Mammie” to so many more than her family.
Funeral services will be held there on Friday, Dec 8th at 11:00 A.M at Downeast Christian Church, Marshville Road, Harrington.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Down East Christian Church, P.O. Box 189, Harrington, ME 04643
