The Bakersfield Californian 25 September 2004
FAYE ELRICH
People look at tombstones and see only the beginning and the end of a
life.
What happens in the dash of ones life? The significance of ones life are
the years between the beginning and the end, the dash. I had the privilege
of knowing Faye Elrich for the last 34 years of my life. She is someone
that will never be measured by great deeds but by the little things she
did over her lifetime. I have traveled to over 65 different countries and
have fought in three different wars but have failed to live up to the
lifes work of my mother. During my career I always had one advantage over
the other guy. At every moment of fear I knew that my mother would be
there praying for my protection and to give me the courage to perform my
job of leading of soldiers.
Faye Elrich was born on May 13, 1921 to Edward and Stella Webber of
Stonebluff, Oklahoma. Faye did not get most of the opportunities that we
share today.
She was reared during the Depression and spent her early adult years
working to assist her family as her brothers fought during World War II.
Fayes early years are difficult to measure by any worldly means. She chose
to serve the greater good by working as a nurse serving those who could
not care for themselves. She excelled as a nurse winning friends in her
peers and personnel under her care at Kern Medical Hospital in
Bakersfield.
Faye married Harvey Elrich on June 11, 1954. She was a wonderful wife and
mother. They enjoyed 47 years of marriage and friendship. The last two
years of marriage she represented what is most important in a spouse by
remarkable care of Harvey through the two years in the Veterans Hospital
in Los Angeles. She traveled as often as possible to ensure his well being
and treatment.
Faye departed this world, well prepared for her arrival in Heaven and
joined her own parents and Harvey on September 20, 2004. I am comforted
that she departed this world in console of Christian hymns and a
Pentecostal pastor praying for her comforted departure of this world.
Faye will not be remembered for her material possessions when she departed
this earth. She will be remembered for her small donations to the youth
group ministries and for helping to feed the children of this world. Her
charity of Gods work and to her fellow man is comparable to the widow that
had but only a mite to give to God. I am comforted that tonight she sleeps
in a mansion for remembering what is most important in life.
Faye lived a life envied by many but replicated by few. I thank my father
and mother for adopting me later in life and giving me the opportunity to
grow.
They gave up their golden years providing for me. The number one thing I
thank them for is teaching me about God and how to be a man.
She departed this world to the loving arms of God on September 20, 2004.
She was a loving sister to Edward, Ray, Lena Mae and Juanita Webber;
mother to John Elrich; wife to Harvey Elrich.
Today she is in a far better place and in the arms of those who love and
care for her.
