Constance Dee Farley passed away peacefully Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026.

Born in Chicago, Ill., on Nov. 22, 1933, the family moved to Los Angeles, Calif., when she was seven. She worked as a nurse at Daniel Freeman Hospital, and in 1954 she met and married the love of her life, Tom Farley. They were blessed with two sons, Dan and Tim. Later, they gradually migrated to the Northwest, first stopping first in Portland, Ore., then settling in Spokane. In Spokane, Connie worked for 18 years as a nurse at Lilac Plaza.

After retiring, they fulfilled their lifelong dream by building a home on the water's edge at Twin Lakes, Idaho. Connie and Tom were very active in the St. Stanislaus church community in Rathdrum. After Tom's passing in 2004, Connie remained active in the church, volunteering to teach catechism and serving on the Altar Society. She continued her life of service into her late 80s by volunteering at Twin Lakes Elementary School. Connie's greatest joy came from helping others and making new friends. Her door was always open, and everyone was welcome.

Connie is survived by her sister, Carol Watkins; her two sons, Dan and Tim; their wives, Robyn and Gretchen; and four grandchildren, Joey, Hannah, Shannon, and Landon.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 2nd, at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, Rathdrum, Idaho. A reception will follow in the church community center.
