Birgitta Kathleen Moran Farmer, artist, wife, mother, and community volunteer was born 23 May 1881. She died 17 January 1939 leaving her husband and four children. Her life, work and legacy are enduring examples for our children and grandchildren and all her relatives as they (paraphrasing Birgitta) remember the power of good example, inform themselves in the duties of their life, improve themselves by good reading, and study the arts."
