Mary Louise (McCarty) Farrell

Mary Louise McCarty Farrell, beloved wife, Mother and Grandmother passed from this earthly life November 15, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Louise was born August 13, 1925, to William Thomas McCarty and Nannie Mary Graham, in Farmington, New Mexico, joining her older sister Loraine. Louise and Loraine learned early the value of hard work, helping their parents on the family farm. This work ethic remained with her throughout her life. She graduated as Valedictorian from Farmington High School in 1942. Louise married in December 1943, and from this union was blessed with four children; Doreen, Anita, Sterling, and Karen. On September 21, 1963, she married her love, Michael Farrell in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was blessed to become a mom to Mike's four sons, Mike Jr., Chris, Pat, and Joe; bringing our family to ten. To say that things became interesting is an understatement. Louise is survived by her loving husband of 50 years, Mike of Las Vegas, Nevada. Also surviving are her children Doreen Bloomfield (Bill) of Farmington, NM. Anita Mulherin (Larry) of Reno, Nevada, Sterling Foutz (Kim) of Paradise Valley, Arizona, Mike Farrell, Jr., of Richardson, Texzs, Chris Farrell (Cassie) of Las Vegas, Nevada, Pat Farrell (Shannon) of Farmington, NM, Joe Farrell (Bev) of Farmington, NM., as well as 17 grandchildren, many, many great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents Will and Nannie McCarty, sister Loraine Simpson, daughter Karen Brown, and cousins Jim Graham, and Berniece McCarty. After several years of marriage, Mike and Louise moved the family to Bloomfield, NM, where they owned and operated Mike's 7to11. After over 20 years in business they retired and moved to Phoenix, Arizona, later moving to San Diego, CA, and finally moving back to Las Vegas, where their journey together began.
