Ellen Gertrude Faber, 62 of Hawthorne went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday April 7th, 2011.
Born in Paterson NJ, Ellen grew up in Midland Park and moved to Hawthorne in 1978.
Her first job was as a waitress at the Meadowbrook Diner in Hawthorne. She then raised her family and when the children were old enough she took on the job of Court Clerk for Hawthorne Township. Later she worked for Primerica Financial Services of North Haledon, as the Recycling Coordinator for Hawthorne Township and finally as the transportation coordinator for the Northern Highlands school system, Bergen County Jointure in Maywood and Allendale before retiring in 2004. She was also a member of the Hawthorne volunteer ambulance corp.
She was a dedicated member of the Cedar Hill Christian Reformed Church, Wyckoff where she was a member of the choir.
Ellen was a take charge person who was full of life and always supporting her children. You were welcome in her home at meal time as she always made enough to feed an army. Her special touch on sweet pork chops, mashed potatoes with gravy, pot roast, or carrot cake will be greatly missed. She also loved to play the piano, organ, loved to sing, knit, gardening, and even made her sister Lois’ prom dress.
On October 23, 1965 she was married to her high school sweetheart and loving husband of forty-five years James Faber. They were married in the family home on Orchard Street, Midland Park and honeymooned in New York State visiting Niagara Falls and Howe Caverns.
Ellen was beloved mother of Craig and his wife Ellen, Russell and his wife Maria, Bryon and his wife Kelly, and Jason and his wife Janet; cherished daughter of Lambert and Marie Klopman; loving grandmother of Victoria, Brittany, Kristen, Daniel, Melissa, Henry, Lorena, and Zoey; loving sister of Lois and Louis Wright, Donna and Peter Faber, Sherrill and Richard Schipper; beloved sister-in-law of Diane Marsden and Dennis and Miriam Faber.
