November 25, 1927 — March 27, 2011
Waltham – Mrs. Rose M. (Farina) Favre, of Waltham, died Sunday, March 27, 2011 in her home surrounded by her husband and three sons after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 83.
Rose was born in Newton on November 25, 1927, a daughter of the late Michael and Mary (Teccia) Farina. She grew up in Newton’s Nonantum neighborhood and graduated from Newton High School. She married Edward G. Favre on April 23, 1950 in Our Lady Help of Christians Church.

She was a longtime parishioner of Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted Church and an active member of the Waltham Senior Center. She loved spending her summers in Falmouth and her winter vacations in Venice, Florida, but mostly she enjoyed being Nana to her grandchildren whom she affectionately referred to as her ‘three babies’.

Favre and his wife, Saipin, of Shrewsbury and Michael A.
