Eugenia Bacon

Eugenia Faye Bacon, 77, passed away Sunday June 3 at the family home on Taylor’s Island.

She leaves behind her husband of 54 years, W. Edward Bacon, sons, Christopher and Daniel Bacon, daughter, Francesca Griffith, and grandchildren, Blaine Griffith, Alex and Kyle Bacon, and her dog Shadow.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Faye lived in Poolesville, Maryland most of her adult life. She later moved to Taylor’s Island in 2000 when she and Ed retired.

Faye received her Bachelor’s Degree from Hunter College in New York City in 1956 and her Master’s Degree in Psychology from Lehigh University in 1958 where she and Ed met. She worked as a clinical psychologist for several years before deciding to focus on caring for her family fulltime.

In addition to dedicating her life raising her children she started a new career as a real estate agent although it was more about helping people than making money. She would quite often waive her commission. Ed would joke that the IRS was going to claim it wasn’t a business, but a hobby.

If she can be remembered for one thing, it would be a caring and compassionate person that was always willing to give and ask for nothing in return.

Faye was very fond of animals, especially dogs. She had a number of canine companions over the years. Faye will be greatly missed by her family, Shadow and loved ones. We love you, rest in peace.

Services will be private and held at a later date.

Arrangements are entrusted to Newcomb and Collins Funeral Home, P.A., Cambridge, MD.
