Barbara Ann Hermann Faber

Barbara Ann Hermann (Barb) Faber, cherished Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and a wonderful person, passed away peacefully on June 29th, 2024 following visits from her family. 

Barbara was born March 12, 1935, in Louisville Kentucky, and met Charles Faber when he was stationed in Fort Knox, KY. She and Chuck raised a family that has grown to 16. The family moved to Arlington from South Bend, Indiana in 1976 and has been an integral part of the Arlington community and Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church for many decades. Barb was well known for • Her love of Cooking and collecting cookbooks • Shopping, oh how she loved to shop, especially for her Grandkids • Travel with her husband of 65 years.

 She has always been known for her Christian kindness, great sense of humor, and generosity. In her later years as her health began to decline and she started to lose her faculties, she continued to have the sweetest disposition of anyone in her extended care facility and all her caregivers just adored her. Barbara’s love, laughter, and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. 

Her warmth and generosity touched everyone she met, and her family will forever cherish the memories she created. Though deeply missed, we find comfort in knowing she is reunited with loved ones, watching over us with her sweet smile. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Glen Hermann. 

She is survived by her son, Robert Charles Faber and wife Peggy, daughter Karen Marie Humphries and husband Clay Humphries, son Charles Lewis Faber and wife Patti, grandchildren, Ryan Humphries, Greg Humphries, Sarah Humphries-Carradine, Husband Ernest Jr. and child Micah, Maggie Faber and husband Matt, Jenny Faber Lopez, Husband Jerry and child Genevieve, and Robbie Faber, Arwen and McKennah Buckner.
