AUBURN — Patricia J. Farris of Auburn entered into eternal life on Saturday, April 2, at the age of 67.

She was born Feb. 24, 1944, to Harold F. and Myra A. (Starbird) Parker. She attended Auburn schools.

A significant time of her work career was that of a crossing guard at the corner of Elm and High street in Auburn; a job she greatly loved. She had a passion for life, people, and especially animals, which included her horses and other beloved pets.

Her greatest passion in life was that of being a mom; culminating in the unspeakable joy of being a grandmother. She will well be remembered for her heart of gold, her kindness, and loving spirit and greatly missed by so many who were blessed to know her.

She is survived by her loving husband of nearly 28 years, Lester D. Farris; her daughter, Tammy Couturier and husband, Dan, of Lewiston; son, Marcel Seeley and wife, Debbie, of Bangor; daughter, Belinda Deming and significant other, Kerry Scott, of Auburn; her beloved grandchildren, Christopher and Katheryn Windhorst, and Eliza Garland; her extended family of stepchildren, and their children; her brothers, Charles, Richard, and Harold Parker; and her sisters, Sandra Talbot and Linda Parker.

She was predeceased by her brother, Ronald Parker.
