Former Juneau resident Mary Ann (Farhenkopf) Barrett died Nov. 2, 2002. She was 78.
She was born in Anacortes, Wash., and lived most of her life in the Pacific Northwest. She was raised during the Depression on a farm in Monroe, Wash. She and her only sibling, George Farhenkopf, were lifelong best friends.
