Faith Gulick, 84, of Sandy Hook, passed away on February 13, 2018 at Masonicare in Newtown. A native of Bronxville, NY, Faith resided for almost 60 years at 68 Church Hill Road, the oldest house in Sandy Hook. Her beloved parents, Kathleen and Karl, purchased the house, which was built in 1712, in 1957. They remained there even after first I-84 and then the Iriquois Pipeline cut through their property. Faith graduated from Connecticut College in 1956 and received a MA in dance from Mills College. An accomplished dancer, she taught dance at Connecticut College, Colby, Middlebury, Yale and Southern Connecticut University. She later worked as a receptionist/secretary at an ophthalmologist’s office in Danbury. Faith loved early American antiques and spent weekends managing an antiques shop that had been lovingly run by her father and was housed in a barn on the property. Faith also loved gardening, working in the yard, and her treasured cat Sheba. She served as trustee of the Newtown Historical Society and was a member of the Newtown Horticultural Club. An elegant and gracious woman, Faith is greatly missed by her family and dear friends. She is survived by her sister, Jane. A memorial service will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church in Newtown on Saturday, April 21 at 2:00 pm, with a reception to follow after the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Newtown Historical Society.
