Faye D. (Stoudt) Haas, R.N., 86, of Topton and formerly of Mertztown, PA, passed away on Wednesday, June 18, 2025 at Lehigh Valley Hospital - Cedar Crest, Allentown, PA. She was the widow of Ronald E. Haas, who died on April 11, 2023 and whom she married on November 8, 1958.

Born in her family home in Topton, PA, Faye was a daughter of the late John J. and Gertrude M. (Kramer) Stoudt and attended grade school in Topton. Faye graduated from Kutztown Area High School in 1956 and attended Reading Hospital School of Nursing where she graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1959. For nearly 50 years, Faye worked as a nurse, providing care for countless patients throughout her career. For the last 35 years of service, Faye was employed by Lehigh Valley Hospital until her retirement in 2008.

Faye was a member of St. John's United Church of Christ, Kutztown and The Topton Sr. Citizens group. She was also a Campfire Girl Leader in Longswamp and was a member of a local bowling league. She was an avid bingo player and enjoyed gardening, bird watching - especially hummingbirds and cardinals, completing jigsaw and sudoku puzzles, scratch off tickets, and going to the casinos.

Above all, Faye's greatest love was for her family. She looked forward to the trips to her cottage in the Poconos, her Sunday morning breakfasts with her husband, and supporting her grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's sporting events. Faye will fondly be remembered by her family and close friends for her unique whistling.
