Mary J. (Humphrey) Felden

Mary J. Felden, age 91, passed away peacefully on May 26, 2018.  Mary was born in Cedar Rapids, IA and grew up in Evanston, IL, but eventually made Barrington, IL her home.  She attended The Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, where she met her beloved husband, Richard, who preceded her in death in November 2006.  They were married 59 years and had four incredible daughters.  She resided in Barrington Hills for 50 years before moving to The Garlands of Barrington for 5 years.  In her earlier years, she raised and bred apricot poodles, showing them nationally and internationally (AKC).  She was an avid gardener and passionate antique collector.  She was full of life, color and spunk.  She loved a party and never showed up empty-handed.  She would be dressed to the nines and have the best accessories to boot.  Spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her heart and joy.  She always had a story to share, yet at the same time, a gift for truly listening.  She enjoyed her cross-words and keeping up with all the local sports teams, especially those of her great-grandchildren.  In her later years, she made a wonderful group of friends and enjoyed their morning coffee and early evening happy hour drinks together.  She was a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, Nana, G.G. and friend to all.  She is dearly loved and will be sorely missed.  Mary is survived by her children, Christine A. (Ron) Baughman, Rebecca S. (Michael) Grimm, Mary Lynn Felden, and Deborah L. (James) Perrotti; grandchildren, Robin, Erin, Kathryn, Robert, Tiffany, William, and Douglas; and eight great grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard; grandson, Michael Jr., and brothers, John and Bruce Humphrey.

Visitation will be 10am until the funeral service at 11am, Friday, June 1 at the Presbyterian Church of Barrington, 6 Brinker Road, Barrington.  Burial will be private.
