ARTHUR FARNSWORTH

NEW HAVEN — Arthur Farnsworth, age 79, passed away unexpectedly at his home in New Haven, Vermont. Art was born on February 25, 1944, to Harold and Flora (White) Farnsworth.

Art is survived by his children Randy (Amy) Farnsworth and Delsie Farnsworth; his grandchildren Mikayla Farnsworth (Garrison) and Kolby Farnsworth.

Pre-deceased by his parents Harold and Flora Farnsworth and siblings Ralph (Yvonne) Farnsworth and Inez (Howard) French.

Art, a true Vermonter through and through, was known for his witty humor and playful banter. After spending a majority of his years working on tractors, he continued to pick up the occasional repair throughout retirement to keep himself out of trouble. He was no stranger to the dance floor, spending much of his free time square dancing. The close-knit dancing community was like a second family to him.

Art was an avid dog lover and raised several dogs for the Guiding Eyes for the Blind after having several of his own dogs. He took great pride in each dog he helped train.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Guiding Eyes for the Blind or Masonic Libanus Lodge No 47 in Art’s name. A graveside service will be held at a later date.◊
