Patricia Ann Farrell Morris Wadley went to heaven at 2:00 AM on March 12th peacefully after a long hard fight with cancer. Law and Order had just turned off right before she died. She would have been proud to know her family had it on in the background as she laid to rest.
She was born on June 16, 1960 in Chicago, Illinois. She was the first child born to Joseph Patterson Farrell and Catherine Frances Benamati Farrell on her father's birthday. Trish was a feisty Irish Italian who was not afraid to put you in your place, or tell you what she thought, but she would do anything for anybody. Up until the last hours she kept telling everybody she was going to be fine and she fought with courage. She never slowed down and was up bright and early every day and was one of the hardest workers you'd ever meet. Trish loved marathon shopping with her daughter, live music, especially, Jerry Jeff Walker, her grandchildren, Mexican food, cake and watching Law and Order.
She was preceded in death by her father, Joe Farrell and her husband Keith Wadley. She is survived by her mother, Catherine Farrell, her daughter Jessica Morris Knutson and son in law, Clayton of Fort Worth, Texas. Stepson Seth Wadley and wife, Nina of Norman, stepson, Trace Wadley and wife, Sammi of Norman, sister Mary Jo Farrell of Oklahoma City, brother Jim Farrell and wife Kris of Plano, Texas, brother JB Farrell of Plano, Texas, three nephews, Alex, Duncan and Lucas Farrell and the most precious loves of her life, her grandchildren, Mastersen and Finnegan Knutson, Spence and Blake Wadley and Tessa, Gavin and Cameron Wadley.
Trish Trish, as her grandchildren called her is having a cheeseburger up in paradise now.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Christ the King Catholic Church in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, March 14th at 10 AM. The family has requested only family members attend the burial.
