Adelaide S.M. Finnegan

FARMINGTON - Adelaide S. M. Finnegan passed away on February 4, 2025 at Community Manor in Farmington at the age of 97 years.  She was born in Lismore, Australia on July 5, 1927 to the late Sydney Abbey Doyle and Sophie (Matthews) Doyle Drew.  In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Leo John Finnegan in 2006; sons, James Finnegan and Terry Finnegan; granddaughter, Michelle "Mia" Pratte; and siblings, Terry Drew and Sheila Dockrill.  

Adelaide was her children's "Earth Angel Momma", beautiful inside and out.  She was all about her family and her home.  For many years she worked alongside her husband in the real estate business.  Flower and vegetable gardening was a hobby that she excelled in.   At one time Adelaide was a member of the Little Acorn Club in Farmington.   She was an accomplished seamstress who made many beautiful dresses for her daughter and granddaughter.    A talented artist, Adelaide enjoyed painting in oils.  She was a avid reader and in her spare time liked going to garage sales and antiquing.   

She will be sorely missed by her loved ones, including her two children, Leo "John" Finnegan, II of Corpus Christie, Texas and Patricia "Patsy" Pratte of Farmington; and grandchildren, Brennan Finnegan and Michael Pratte.

A graveside service will be held at a later date.  Share your condolences and memories at cozeanfuneralhome.com.
