Featured obituary:

Elizabeth M. "Libby" Faulks, of Lake Forest, died on June 30, at JourneyCare CareCenter in Glenview, Illinois. Libby was born on December 27, 1953, at Lake Forest Hospital. She attended Sheridan Elementary School, Gorton School, Deer Path Junior High, and Lake Forest High School, where she excelled both academically and athletically, serving as the President of the Girls Athletic Association, and competing as an All Star in field hockey, volleyball, softball, and basketball.

In her senior year of high school she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After major surgery and many rigorous months of physical therapy, she was able to graduate with her class. She enrolled the following fall at the University of Illinois as a physical education major. She continued her physical therapy at college while attending a full load of classes, and graduated in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education.

Libby worked as a substitute teacher in the Lake Forest school districts until 1982, when she began her 21-year tenure as a receptionist for Bruce C. Bennett, DDS. She was adored by patients for her positive and sunny disposition. Due to ongoing health issues, Libby retired in 2003 and went on to devote her time to her beloved church, First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest, where she was a lifelong member. She sang in the Junior and Senior high choirs, played in the handbell choir, served as a deacon, was chairman of the sewing department for the annual rummage sale, and was actively involved in the prayer shawl ministry. She was also a devoted member of the Lake Forest Women's Community Bible Study.

Libby created and managed women's softball and volleyball teams, leading them to several citywide championships. She was a certified Die Hard Cubs Fan, and loved playing all types of games. She always had a mile-wide smile that brought joy to all who were blessed to know her. Famous for her irrepressible sense of humor, she was always eager to keep people smiling and laughing with cow jokes, rebus puzzles, and her special birthday dance.
