Fransina “Fritz” Faber (nee Keyzer) age 82 of Haledon on Thursday, April 17, 2008 unexpectedly at the Northside Fulton Regional Hospital in Roswell, Georgia. Her loving family was at her bedside and her passing was quiet and peaceful.
She was born and spent her formative years in Prospect Park. When she married, she moved to Haledon where she spent most of her life.
Fritz received her formal education at Paterson Central High School graduating with the Class of 1943.
Her first employment was at the Prospect Park Bank where she worked as a Teller.
She was previously a member of Bethel Christian Reformed Church in Paterson and later at the Cedar Hill Christian Reformed Church in Wyckoff.
Fritz had music in her bones and was an accomplished pianist and organist. For a time she served the Third Church in Paterson as an organist. She was also in a band. Having family and friends together was important to her, and on weekends it was a regular practice to gather everyone together and sing and play music to the wee hours.
She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who made life special for her family. Perhaps the highlight of her life experience was the arrival of grandchildren and great-grandchildren who she loved adoringly.
Fritz and John Faber had fifty-seven years of “loving and devoted togetherness” until John’s passing in July of 2004. While John was serving in the Army during World War II in England, they wrote letters to each other every day. After John returned home from the war they got married.
Surviving are three children James Faber and his wife Ellen of Hawthorne; Diane Marsden of Alpharetta, Georgia and Dennis Faber, who is Diane’s twin brother, and his wife Miriam of Butler; two sisters Bess Dyer of Long Beach Island and Alta Jeltes of Wyckoff; one brother Marinus Keyzer and his wife Alberta of Dillsburg, Pennsylvania; ten grandchildren Craig Faber and his wife Ellen, Russell Faber and his wife Maria, Bryon Faber and his wife Kelly, Jason Faber and his wife Janet, Jennifer Bottorff and her husband Eric, Stephanie Marsden, Cody Marsden, Kelly Faber, Jill Werner and her husband Bill, and Christopher Faber; seven great grandchildren Victoria, Brittany, Melissa and Henry Faber, Kristen, and Daniel Sandmeier and Nicholas Werner.
Her son-in-law Brooks Marsden died suddenly in July of 2007, her brothers-in-law John Dyer and Andrew Jeltes also predeceased her.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Fritz’s memory are asked to consider either the Eastern Christian Scholarship Fund c/o Cedar Hill Christian Reformed Church or the Alzheimer's Research Foundation.
