Temple, NH – Temple, NH – We are saddened to share that Casey died suddenly and unexpectedly on Christmas Eve surrounded by her family. Born April 16, 1953 in Greenfield, MA, she spent her childhood in Northfield, MA, with her parents, Martha Faulkner Jones and Douglas Abbey Jones, and her two older brothers, Steve and Tom. Theirs was a welcoming and creative home filled with art, music, and literature, with a potter’s wheel in the basement and board game prototypes always in the works.
After graduating from The Northfield School for Girls, she studied at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and Peters Valley School of Craft in New Jersey. Her talent was broad and evident in the many disciplines she enjoyed: quilting, paper quilling, sewing, calligraphy, print making, leather work, weaving, and ceramics.
In 1980 Casey married her soulmate, Bill Faller. Together they raised their two children, Sam and Tess, in a home they built in Temple. She spent nearly forty years at Mountain Shadows School in various capacities. She taught grammar, language, music, anatomy, and geography classes that imparted her love of learning to generations of students.
Casey is survived by her husband, Bill Faller; brother, Tom Jones; son Sam and his partner Kerri Cordeiro; daughter Tess and her partner Dave Durant; nephew John Jones; niece Gwen Jones; grandchildren Evelyn Faller and River Durant, and a granddaughter due in March. She was predeceased by her parents, Martha and Douglas Jones, and her brother Steve Jones.
Donations in Casey’s name may be made to The Mansfield Library in Temple, NH or to local food banks.
