Angela Marie "Batty" Farnsworth(1919-2014)
Born February 21, 1919 in Wawawai, Washington. Died May 29, 2014 in Simi Valley, California.
Lodi resident for 41 years, from 1971 to 2012.
She was 95 years old at her death.
She was the oldest of 10 children (4 girls and 6 boys).
Three of her brothers survive her: Gerald ("Jerry") who lives in Texas; Joseph who lives in Angel's Camp, and David who calls Sebastapol home.
She married Afton Leroy ("Cappy") Farnsworth in 1941 in Angel's Camp, CA. She was widowed after 28 years in 1970. During her married life, she was a housewife and mother.
As a widow with 2 children still at home, she moved to Lodi and became a cook until her retirement in 1982.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Afton Leroy Farnsworth and 4 children: Lester Bert (m. Sylvia), Robert Earl (m. Marilyn), Dorothy Ann (at birth), and Thomas Clarence (m. Dottie)
She is survived by 4 children: Florence Rose (m. Robert ) Richard Allen (m. Jane), William Leroy (m. Wendy), and Stephen Gerard (m. Marilyn).
She was blessed with 22 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.
Angela was dedicated by her parents to the Blessed Virgin Mary at her birth. She loved the Eucharist. She was our family prayer warrior, saying as many as 6 rosaries a day in addition to the Divine Mercy.
She had a remarkable memory for family history which she recounted in her own blog that she started at the young age of 89. (www.lodimama.blogspot.com)
She also had a passion for crossword puzzles, EWTN, Lawrence Welk shows, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Most recently, she was watching classic movies recounting the plots in minute detail to anyone who would listen.
From notes in her personal diary regarding her death: "To my children (ALL SEVEN) and their spouses, I leave you with nothing very valuable but my love and prayers, hoping to see all of you with me, hopefully, in Heaven with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother Mary and all our dear relatives and friends with the saints of God!"
She is buried next to her beloved husband in San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Mission Hills, CA.
A memorial Mass will be said at Saint Anne's Church on Tuesday, July 1, 2014 at 10 AM, with a reception immediately following in the church hall.
