It is with great sadness that CASA of Luzerne County says goodbye to one of our founders, Eberhard Faber. He passed away on Friday, September 2 at the age of 85.

Eb and his wife, Mary Louise, who passed away on October 11, 2019, both supported CASA of Luzerne County from its inception.

Eb was a founding member of the CASA of Luzerne County Board of Directors, where he served a six year term from 2013-2019. He had a great understanding of the mission and vision of CASA of Luzerne County and generously supported the organization giving both time and treasure. Mary Louise was one of CASA’s first volunteer advocates and was dedicated to giving children of Luzerne County a voice.

In April 2018, Eb and Mary Louise were honored with our inaugural Service Achievement Award.

Eb was a respected member of the community and served on many boards, including Chairman of the Board at King’s College. He was a mentor to all who knew him.

CASA of Luzerne County is grateful to Eberhard for sharing his talent with our organization and being a large part in creating the foundation that helps so many children in the Luzerne County Dependency Court system.

A public service is scheduled for 10 a.m. of Saturday. September 10 at the King’s College chapel.
