July 26, 2006
Monica Charlotte Fadding, 45, of Willow Street in Glendale died Wednesday at Berkshire Medical Center.
Born in Bally, Pa., on July 30, 1960, daughter of Moses Richard and Trudy Bush Schultz, she attended local schools and was a 1978 graduate of Baldwin High School in Bryn Mawr, Pa. She received her bachelor's degree from Marlboro College in Marlboro, Vt., in 1985.
She moved to Great Barrington in 1993.
She and her husband, Marc Fadding, created the company Marconica Inc., a local garden maintenance business. At one time, she was employed by Windy Hill Farm in Great Barrington.
An environmentalist, she spent much of her time working on the Great Barrington River Walk Project. In 1994 she helped to institute the policy for introducing plants native to the Berkshires for the River Walk. Monica was the brainchild and landscaper for the River Walk's W.E.B. Du Bois Rain Garden.
She collected and propagated unusual plants, and volunteered at Kinderhoff, her daughter's school. She also loved classical music.
She and her husband were married in 1998 at the Open Air Chapel in West Stockbridge.
Besides her husband and her parents, of Barto, Pa., she leaves her daughter, Trudy Patricia Fadding of Glendale; three brothers, Peter Howard Schultz of New York City, Steven Michael Schultz of Princeton, N.J., and David Moses Schultz of Tokyo.
FUNERAL NOTICE -- A gathering celebrating the life of Monica Fadding, who died Wednesday, July 26, 2006, will be held on Saturday, Aug. 5, at the Open Air Chapel in West Stockbridge at a time to be announced.
There will be no calling hours. Memorial contributions may be made to an educational fund being set up for her daughter. Donations may be made to the Trudy Patricia Fadding Scholarship Fund through FINNERTY & STEVENS FUNERAL HOME, 426 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230.
Remembrances, memories and reflections may be sent to the family through www.fin nertyandstevens.com. Monica moved to Great Barrington in 1993 because her family friend, Bette Moore, recommended her to a friend who was interested in gardens and horticulture. She met her future husband, Marc, at Windy Hill Farm in Great Barrington, where they both were employed. Along with her mother- and father-in-law, Patricia and Russell E. Fadding of Glendale, and her brother-in-law, Steven, of West Stockbridge, Monica also leaves many close friends.
