Edward Joseph Farrell ’50, J.D. ’55 died on January 18, 2011. He was born in Sacramento, Calif. on May 7, 1929 to Bess and Leo Farrell, M.D. Edward Farrell, a fourth generation Californian, who was preceded in death by his loving wife of 50 years, Mary Ann. He is survived by his children Leo Farrell ’81, Suzanne Farrell ’82, Michael and Tim Farrell; and grandsons Evan and Dylan Fagundes. Edward is survived by his sisters Mary Kehew and her husband, Roger; and Frances Vitulli and her husband, Frank; sister-in-law Kathy Anapolsky and her husband Larry. He was preceded in death by his sister, Harriet Farrell. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Edward was a graduate of Christian Brothers High School (1946) and Santa Clara University (1950). He received his law degree from Santa Clara University in 1955. He served as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army during the Korean War in 1952. He married Mary Ann Morris in 1958 who preceded him in death in 2009. At the time of his retirement in 2001, Edward was the senior partner of the Farrell, Fraulob and Brown law firm in Sacramento. His many and varied interests included a lifelong love of books and a reputation as a voracious reader on a wide array of subjects. His impressive breadth of knowledge along with his capacity as a truly gifted storyteller helped him educate, entertain and inform friends and family memorably for decades. He retained these abilities, as well as his renowned sense of humor, right up until his passing. His devotion to physical fitness found him biking on Sacramento’s bike trails well into his 70’s and strolling his Land Park neighborhood well after his 80th birthday. An intense interest in travel took him from Finland to France, Malaysia to Morocco, but summer vacations with family at the beach in Rio Del Mar were always his favorite.
