She took great joy in seeing the girls grow and thrive under her guidance, and she was ever ready to share her skills and knowledge with them. Her influence has left an indelible mark on countless lives, and she will always be remembered for her love and dedication to this cause.

She joins in heaven her loving husband Dan Ellis; parents Henry and Jo Faber; sister, Debora Spielman; and brother, Roger Faber.
