Obituary of Kathleen Faire

Faire, Kathleen, 61, of Nutley, died on Friday, August 25, 2017. Born January 19th, 1956, Kathy grew up in Wayne, NJ in the loving home of John M. and Margaret Faire, along with her sister, Patricia, and brother John. She attended Rutgers University and went on to obtain a PhD in Biological Sciences followed by post-doctoral training in Cell Biology and Biochemistry at Columbia University Medical Center. Kathy was a meticulous and thoughtful scientist who made significant contributions in her field of research. She then took the opportunity to apply her acquired knowledge and expertise in a very successful career as a scientific advisor at the legal firms Chadbourne & Park, LLP, and later at Herbert Smith Freehills in Manhattan. We mourn our loss and celebrate the life of Kathleen Faire, a woman whose generosity, kindness infused her family, friends and colleagues with joy and optimism, and put us all at ease. She will be remembered every day through the ways she touched each of us, and in our expression of how she shaped our lives. Kathy settled herself and created a warm and welcoming home in Nutley, NJ. She was a devoted daughter, sister, niece and aunt, and a sure and true friend to many. Kathy will be sorely missed all whose lives were enriched by her hearty laughs, vivacious temperament, and strength of character. We love you so very much…. rest easy.
