Amy E. Saba-Farmer

Amy Saba-Farmer, 52, passed away unexpectedly at home on October 29, 2023. She was born on May 4, 1971, in Lawrence, MA, the beloved first born daughter of Daniel Saba and Donna (Anthony) Saba. Amy attended school in Methuen, MA.

Amy raised three wonderful children with her ex-husband, Patrick Farmer. Amy and Patrick were devoted to instilling the children with the values they held dear. She returned to college as an adult—earning a bachelor’s degree in social sciences from UMass Lowell, a proud moment for her and her family. Amy was also self-taught in many areas that her family admired her for, like gardening, creating kombucha, and various homeopathic remedies. After her degree, she plunged into her passion for serving people, especially battered women. Her compassion drove her to help those in need in any way she could. Amy and Patrick raised their children in Lowell, MA, where they were deeply committed to pursuing education, volunteerism, and community activities.

She is survived by her devoted children, Jasmin Saba-Farmer and her partner Matthew Gauthier, of Clinton, MA; Samuel Saba-Farmer and his partner Andrew Raftery of Boston, MA; and Isabella Saba-Farmer of Ayer, MA.

Amy is also survived by her loving siblings, Christopher Saba of Lawrence, and Jenny Freeman and her husband Jason of Pooler, GA; half-siblings, Brendan Saba and his wife Leslie of Northwood, NH; Sophia Saba of Methuen, MA, and Daniel Saba of Methuen, MA; Amy will also be greatly missed by her stepmom Cynthia Saba who she loved dearly, and her mom’s partner Bruce Caron as well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins and friends.

Amy loved spending time with family. She had a deeply compassionate heart, a robust and clever sense of humor, and a strong appreciation for the arts, culture, and science. We will find encouragement in one another as we share our memories of her, as well as remember her spark of brilliance and the deep love she had for all of us.

Family and friends are invited to calling hours on Friday November 10, 2023 from 2 pm to 4 pm at the Dewhirst Boles Funeral Home, 80 Broadway, Methuen. To leave an online condolence, please visit Amy’s tribute page at www.dewhirstbolesfuneral.com.
