Margie Laura Farrell
January 5, 1931 ~ February 22, 2020
Margie Laura Farrell, 89, of Tacoma, Washington, passed away Saturday, February 22, 2020, at St. Mary’s Hospital surrounded by her loving family.
She was born January 5, 1931, in Stockton, California, the daughter of Henry William Hansen and Helen Frances Moore.
Margie was united in marriage to James Robert Holman on May 10, 1949, in Tacoma, WA. He preceded her in death on January 10, 1981. On December 30, 1988, she married Thomas Fredrick Farrell in Tacoma, WA, and he died on July 16, 2011.
Margie was a loving homemaker to her family for many years. She later owned and operated Tony’s Tavern in Puyallup, WA, and the Huckleberry Inn in Key Center, WA, for over 20 years.
She was a gardening enthusiast with an uncanny knack for knowing the names of every plant and flower she encountered. She loved to dance, water ski, and travel. She was a lifelong advocate for eating dessert before the main course.
Survivors include three children, Laurel (Bruce) Bredeman, of Jefferson City; MO; Stacey (Janeen) Holman, of Gig Harbor, WA; Lynette (Chris) Walker, of Rolesville, NC; eight grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; one brother, Danny Mulderig, of Violet Hill, AR; 11 nieces and Nephews; and three close cousins, Barbara (Jerry) Carrier, of Prescott, AZ; Eve (John) Szabo, of Mayer, AZ; and Dianna Quintana, of Winterhaven, CA.
The family will hold private services.

I so enjoyed the times I spent with Margie and while I know you will miss her forever, I trust your many memories, filled with the love and laughter that was her life, will keep her close to you. I know I will continue to enjoy her through my own memories of her sometimes quirky view of life (not to mention her love of sweets). Jill
I will miss my Auntie Margie she always made me feel very special and important. I will also remember the special relationship she shared with my mom her sis in law Evelyn. Hugs and kisses to you all, love you all, Julie
Susan Bethards Margie was always the sweetest and the most kind woman I ever met. She treated me like she was always very happy to visit with me. Her smile would light up the room. A gentle loving soul that will will never be forgotten by family and friends.
