Faye (Peril) Weissman

Faye died peacefully, in the early morning, at Hooverwood Nursing Home, where she had been a resident for three years.  She celebrated her 95th birthday a week before her death.  Faye was born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania on November 24, 1925, moved to Indianapolis as a teenager and attended Shortridge High School.  The family then moved back to Pennsylvania for a few years.

Faye married Adrian Weissman and the couple returned to Indianapolis, where they made their home.  She stayed at home, raising her two children until they were in high school.  During those years, Faye was active in the B'nai Brith Women's Organization through Beth-El Zedeck Synagogue, was in a bowling league, and played Mah Jongg several times a week.

Later, Faye began her career in the couture fashion industry, which she loved.  She started at Peacock's and then worked at Davidson's Indiana Fur for 32 years, until the store closed.  At the age of 78, she was recruited to work at the Indianapolis Saks Fifth Avenue store, where after a year, she decided she was tired.  Faye loved to travel and took several trips to Europe.

Faye is survived by her two daughters, Jeannie (Jack) Meadows and Pamela Weissman (Jim Brown); two grandchildren living in Chicago, Brooke (Patrick) Brackett and Max (Leslie) Brown; two great-grandchildren, Izabella Faye Brown and Noah Scott Brackett; and a dear niece, Dana Palmer of Dallas, Texas.

There will be a luncheon after COVID-19 is resolved.  Any donations may be made in Faye's memory to The Hooverwood Guild, 7001 Hoover Road, Indianapolis, IN 46260.
