Marsha Helling de Farro

Marsha Helling de Farro, 79, of Grapevine, Texas, passed away peacefully surrounded by family and love on July 27th. She was the steady center of her family-a devoted wife, loving mother, and supportive grandmother. Marsha's absence will be felt beyond measure.

Marsha was a woman of extraordinary generosity. She was selfless, always putting the needs of others before her own. She found happiness in—traveling to new places, gardening, curling up with a good book, and cheering on her grandchildren at their many events and activities. To know her was to know someone endlessly selfless and giving.

She was the beloved wife of Paolo de Farro for 51 wonderful years. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and purpose. They loved to travel all over the world together. Marsha is survived by her husband Paolo, their children Gino de Farro and Marisa Caldwell, grandchildren Camilla de Farro, Kinsley Caldwell and Kolston Caldwell. She is also survived by her sister Susan Siegesmund and her brother Gordon White.

Marsha's legacy lives on in the love she gave us and though she is no longer with us, her spirit will continue to guide and inspire us. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.

In honor of Marsha’s life and strength, especially in her final years, the family kindly requests donations be made to ovarian cancer research in her memory.
