Obituary: Faith Ann Eisenman

Faith Ann Eisenman (formerly Stowe, Argraves), age 59, of Oxford, CT lost her fearless battle with breast cancer on June, 23, 2023 surrounded by her loving and devoted husband, Bill Eisenman, as well as close friends and family.

Faith’s roots have always been in CT. Born on February 11, 1964 to Betsy and Sumner Stowe, Faith spent most of her life as a Shelton resident. At age 2, her sister, Wendi Stowe, came along and became her built-in best friend. Faith went on to start her own family with her first husband, Mark, and had two beautiful children, Melissa and Anthony – her absolute pride and joy. Faith dedicated much of her life to her 28+ year career in Human Resources at St. Vincent’s Medical Center where she influenced and inspired countless employees.

Faith’s altruistic nature carried into all aspects of her life. Since first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013, she became a “faithful” volunteer for the American Cancer Society through Relay for Life. In her decade-long volunteer efforts for Relay for Life, Faith was often in the top 3 in donations for her region and in 2023, she was honored as “Survivor of the Year” for her consistent and significant efforts in support of the Naugatuck Valley Relay for Life.

To know Faith was to love her. Faith was a consistently kind and generous person who never hesitated to support anyone in need. When not helping others, Faith enjoyed camping (more appropriately referred to as glamping) with her husband Bill and friends, as well as spending time with her children Melissa & Anthony, daughter-in-law Abigail, beloved grandchildren Oliver Thomas & Amelia Faith. Faith loved all things purple, her puppies (especially Gracie and Jazzie), dancing to and enjoying Country music, making memories with family and friends, and pretty & sparkly things.

Faith is survived by the love of her life, her husband Bill Eisenman; children Melissa and Anthony Argraves (wife Abigail); her grand-children Oliver Thomas and Amelia Faith, her mother Betsy Stowe, her sister Wendi (husband Reid), step-children Zach, Billy, Kira and Jessie, step-granddaughter Kailyn, and many loving in-laws, extended family, and friends.

To honor Faith’s wishes and her amazing spirit there will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, August 19 from 12-2 PM at Veteran’s Memorial Park in downtown Shelton. All attendees are asked to wear a “pop of purple” as part of their celebration of Faith and her life. There will also be a small mass dedicated to Faith at St. Vincent’s Medical Center Chapel on Thursday, July 20 at 2 PM.

In lieu of flowers, please makes donations to the Naugatuck Valley Relay for Life or St. Vincent’s Medical Center Cancer Institute in Memory of Faith Eisenman.
