Marion Farnholtz Cool

SUN CITY WEST - Marion Farnholtz Cool went to be with her Lord and Savior on Feb. 7, 2013 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. Marion was a resident of Sun City West and a member of the Evangel Church where she enjoyed Women's Ministries with "her girls" as she phrased it. Raised in upstate New York, Marion graduated from Dolgeville, N.Y. High School and became a secretary at Cornell University. She loved her time there and volunteered with orphanage children. She literally married the "boy across the street" from her, Harold Cool, who was, as she always put it, 'her rock'. Marion was devoted to teaching children about God. She ran a weekly Bible Club out of her home in Hopkinton, Massachusetts for over 10 years. Over the years she taught hundreds of children and put Bibles into every one of their hands at her own expense. Additionally, she taught Sunday school and Vacation Bible School. Her sons, Brian and Steven Cool, went to be with the Lord in 1984 and 2004 respectively. She is survived by her husband, Harold Cool (Az.); her daughter, Lynne (Cool) Dooley and son-in-law, Mark (Idaho); and their children, Kurin and Abbi; a grandson, Jared Brian Herrera (Calif.); a daughter-in-law, Terry Cool (Calif.); her brother, Reverend David Farnholtz and his wife Erisina (Penn.); close friend, Joyce Banagis and her family (N.Y.); and numerous friends, nieces and nephews. Service arrangements have not been made at this time. Her remains, after Alzheimer's research is completed, will be brought to Evergreen Cemetery in Woodville, Massachusetts next to her son Brian David Cool.
