Former educator
Marsha Lane Hatley Farney (born December 15, 1958) is an American businesswoman and former educator from Georgetown, Texas. From 2013 to 2017, she was a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives for District 20, based in Burnet and Milam counties and a portion of northern Williamson County, a suburb of Austin in the central portion of the state.
In her bid for a third term, Farney was unseated in the Republican primary election held on March 1, 2016, by Terry Wilson, who polled 18,754 votes (54.3 percent) to her 15,809 (45.7 percent).
Farney is the daughter of Hurshell Hartford Hatley (born c. 1925) and the former Shirley June Abney (born 1934) of Temple, Texas, formerly of Paris in Lamar County in northeastern Texas. Hurshell Hatley was a reserve police officer on duty in Dallas on November 22, 1963, the day of the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the wounding of Governor John B. Connally, Jr. Hatley was near the grassy knoll of Dealey Plaza in Dallas where some have claimed that a second shooter actually fired the fatal shot at the president. At one point during the motorcade, Hatley was called upon to assist officers when Lee Harvey Oswald was brought into custody for the fatal shooting of both President Kennedy and the city patrolman J. D. Tippit. In the aftermath of Kennedy's death, when word spread that a police officer had also been shot, Mrs. Hatley feared that the other victim was her husband, rather than Tippit.
