Sally Swift Faunce ’47

Sally Swift Faunce, our honorary classmate, died peacefully in her home in Rye, N.Y., Aug. 28, 1996. Sally was an unusually attractive and charming person and very popular with our classmates. She was the widow of George Faunce, past president of the class and one of its all-time greats.

She was a graduate of the Madiera School and attended Vassar prior to marrying George in 1949. Over the years she was active in various organizations in Rye, but it was as a homemaker and devoted and concerned wife and mother that Sally shone. Full of good humor, she was clearly the beacon under which George and their children flourished happily for so long.

Sally is survived by her two children, Theodore S. '73 and Rebecca McDermott, and five grandchildren, to all of whom the class wishes to express its deepest sympathy.
