Pauline M. Farmer

Pauline (Looney) Farmer, age 81, a longtime resident of Dracut, passed away peacefully at her daughter’s home on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late David A. Farmer, with whom she enjoyed 10 years of marriage.

Pauline was born in Malden on September 25, 1944, and was the daughter of the late Joseph T. and Pauline (Melanson) Looney.

Pauline Farmer leaves behind a legacy of strength, devotion, and unconditional love for her family. Raised in Medford, Massachusetts, Pauline grew up in a vibrant home alongside her mother, four brothers, and sister.

A graduate of Medford High School, Pauline went on to build a fulfilling career as an administrative assistant with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Westford, Massachusetts. Known for her strong work ethic and steady presence, she was a deeply valued colleague and friend.

Above all, Pauline’s greatest devotion was to her family. As a single mother, she raised two beautiful children, her daughter Paula and son Edward, with remarkable resilience and unwavering dedication. Her family deeply admired her independent spirit and incredible strength throughout her life—qualities that inspired everyone around her. Her pride and joy grew even further as her family expanded, and she treasured her role as a loving grandmother and great-grandmother to many.

Beyond her career and family life, Pauline took simple delight in spending warm days tending to her yard, enjoying shopping trips, and above all, sharing countless hours surrounded by those she loved most. Her strength, independence, generous spirit, and lasting warmth will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Pauline is survived by her son Edward Crowley and wife Lauren Crowley, daughter Paula Dungun and husband Steve Dungan, grandchildren Alycia, Liz, Brendan, Courtney, Sean, and eight great grandchildren.

In addition to her loving husband, Pauline is predeceased by her sister, Arlene, and four brothers, Dick, Joe, Jerry, and Ed.
