FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Faith Deane Sheehan’s beautiful life came to a close June 23, 2022 in Fairfield, Conn. cherished by loved ones near and far. Faith was a loyal, inspirational friend, devoted sister, exceptional Mother, Aunt, Oma, a stellar therapist, a life long learner and generous teacher of grace and surrender along her path of Parkinsons.

She served as Well Suited’s first Executive Director supporting women in transition back into the workforce, developed the first family and friends program for Crossroads For Women. She celebrated life across too many family gatherings and rich sustaining friendships to count.

Faith came full circle returning to Connecticut with gratitude where she spent her final years in the care of her son Dave and daughter in law Lisa and comfort of family visits from near and far and compassionate staff at Sunrise Community of Fairfield.

She led a life of compassion, curiosity, sparkle, lots of dishware and an enviable closet full of stylish clothes, hats and scarves, bags and jewelry. She was a great source of comfort, a kind harbor, adventurous partner and impeccable in her self-knowledge and service to others.

She was deeply beloved and will be forever missed by her children Sue Sheehan (Peter), Elizabeth Sheehan (Brian) and David lll Sheehan (Lisa); her sister Sue Kirchner (Bernie); her grandchildren Robin Merl (Cristina), Hannes Merl (Verena), David IV Sheehan (Yiqin), Timothy Sheehan and Zachary Sheehan, Ember Haire (Joel), Bree Haire (Marc); her sisters-in-law Ingrid Deane, Judith Sheehan, Julia Sheehan, Liz Sheehan, Kate Sheehan (Andy) and Julie Keller; and dozens of nieces and nephews.
