Autumn Rae Fahey

Autumn Rae Fahey, 31, of Craftsbury Common, died Saturday, March 15, after a courageous fight with cancer. She was born in Morrisville, the daughter of Kevin and Kate (Labosky) Fahey. Autumn attended Morrisville schools and was a standout soccer player for Peoples Academy. She attended the Governor’s Institute for the Arts and went on to graduate from Lyndon State College, also playing soccer on three conference champion teams.

Autumn was a National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) alumna and grew up snowboarding on Mount Mansfield in Stowe and having fun on adventures with her many friends and family.

As an artist, she created colorful abstract paintings full of dynamic movements and was invited by galleries to show her work. Autumn worked as art director for Euro Designs in Stowe.

She was dearly loved by her family and friends and will be remembered as a beautiful, cheerful, compassionate soul.
