Sept. 23, 1921 July 16, 2013
Faye Fuller Ebner, 91, died Tuesday, July 16, at her home at Stoneybrook Lodge in Corvallis.
Faye was born in Happy Hollow Ranch outside Emmett, Idaho, to Ward and Ina Ferne Fuller. The family later moved to Boise, Idaho. During World War II, Faye moved to Spokane, Wash., to be with her mom and sisters, and worked in government service at Fort George Wright.
She married Lee Godshall in 1944 and after the war they moved to Collegeville, Pa., to settle down and raise a family. In 1952 they moved to San Mateo, Calif., with their two daughters, Krista and Ferne, to start a new life in the West.
Faye lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 60 years. She was a working professional most of her adult life. She worked as an administrative assistant at Hillsdale High School, Aragon High School and the San Mateo School District office, and for the City of Burlingame.
At the end of her career and after retirement, she went back to school to study for her credential to teach adult school, and taught word processing/typing through ROP for several years (and loved it). One of Fayes strengths was her ability to set goals and achieve them. She liked to learn new things and to challenge herself.
Her lifes ambition was to see the world. She achieved her goal to travel, and traveled extensively both domestically and internationally through a group called Friendship Force.
Later in life, she married Dick Ebner. They traveled domestically and internationally together and thoroughly enjoyed learning about people and places everywhere. Faye made lasting friendships wherever she went. The photos and stories of her adventures from these travels were always captivating. Faye lived each moment to the fullest and took advantage of every opportunity to learn something new or meet a new person.
Faye was an active member of St. Matthews Episcopal Church in San Mateo. She participated in St. Catherines Section, arranged flowers with the altar guild, and worked in the churchs thrift shop. She treasured her church family.
She contributed to numerous cultural and educational groups, among them Turnstile Thrift Shop benefiting children, and the Burlingame Music Club. Her hobbies included golfing, swimming, listening to opera and classical music, and socializing and staying in touch with family and friends.
Faye loved attending events centered on the arts and international life, and attended many operas, symphonies, ballets and plays in the San Francisco Bay Area over the years. She frequented art museums locally and when traveling, and collected and appreciated framed art. She loved fine dining, was an excellent cook and entertained often in her home. She loved to dance and dress up and go out on the town or to a social event.
Faye was especially fond of the ocean, resort vacationing and cruises. She swam with the dolphins in Mexico, and snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef, the Caribbean, Hawaii and Mexico. She appreciated the beauty of nature, loved to garden and especially loved flowers ... planting and raising them, arranging and just looking at them in her home.
She had a good memory for people and places, and kept current on what was happening in peoples lives. She always had a word of kindly advice or encouragement for people she knew and met because she thought people should live up to their potential (work hard and dont give up).
Faye dedicated her life to being in touch with friends and family. In October 2012, Faye left her beautiful Bay Area and moved to Corvallis to be closer to family. She was included in many family events during the brief time she lived in Corvallis, and enjoyed being with her daughters and their husbands, and all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Faye was preceded in death by her parents, Ward and Ferne Fuller; her brother, Phil; sisters Marilyn and Patty; first husband, Lee Godshall; and second husband, Dick Ebner.
Faye is survived by and will be sorely missed by her daughters and their husbands, Krista and Bruce LaSorella of Tacoma, and Ferne and Mark Simendinger of Corvallis; her stepdaughter, Bette Steacy, and husband, Vince, of Somers Point, N.J.; her four granddaughters; and seven great-grandchildren.
Faye will be laid to rest in a private interment at Parkview Cemetery in New Plymouth, Idaho. A private family service is being planned for September in Corvallis.
