Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I met ‘Mom Farha’ while she served as house mother for the Tri Delta sorority at WSU. I enjoyed many afternoons chatting with ‘Mom’. She was a great mentor to me and many of my sorority sisters. My thoughts go out to your family during this time. May your happy memories help heal in this time of sorrow.
Our sincere sympathy on your loss. Treva was a warm and wonderful woman and we will always remember her for her many kindnesses. Our thoughts are with you and your families. May God bless you all. Effie Chakales and Maria Ciski
My husband and I lived next door to Steve for several years. I always enjoyed and learned from her gardening skills. I will remember her among the plants she loved and nurtured.
We have and will continue to miss our ever watchful neighbor, ‘Steve Farha’. She taught us well and was a wonderful example for all of us in watching and communicating carefully and at a distance for one another of ‘the happenings’ that might be of concern on our streets. How awed we were of her and all she could accomplish esp. in her ‘corner’ that added delight to the eyes with her lovely plants and white chairs to her delight in people and acquaintances known. Her attention to detail while prodding for potential was astounding. May her daughters and family be comforted knowing her earthly life made a difference for many as do theirs. Thank you for all you did for her to live and love as long as she did. You were her pride and joy.
To the loving families of Steve Farha, we extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to you for your loss. We have many fond memories of Steve, and know your memories of her will be a comfort now and always. Michael and Debra Heidebrecht
Your Mother was a true lady in every sense of the word. She raised three terrific girls of whom two I am proud to call friends. My heart and prayers are with you. I am praying that God will give your family the strength and comfort in the coming days.
