Nathalie M. Favre-Gilly

We both often talk about Nathalie, Sophie and Shane - miss them all very much. Taken from us too young - their early departures from our lives is still a shock.

I had the honor of working for Nathalie when I was fresh out of college. She was an incredible advocate, both for survivors of domestic violence as well as her staff. I learned so much from her. She had high standards and a great sense of humor - too essential things in her line of work! Nathalie continued to serve as a source of wisdom and support long after I left Casa Myrna. I am so grateful to her. Very sad to hear of her passing - lots of love to Thomas and family.

Nathalie's early passing has left a big hole in my life, coming so soon after her sister Sophie's and her brother-in-law Shane's early deaths. I met NFG in Manhattan in late 1980 and worked with her at Atari Ireland in Tipperary in the early 1980s, famously sharing a thatched cottage with her for a period. Our paths diverged, she in Italy and Boston, me in Silicon Valley, but we managed to meet from time to time in Boston or in California. I last met her in Calvi (Corsica) in 2012 where I was...

Nathalie était une femme d'une grande sensibilité, d'intelligence et de grand coeur que nous aimions. Nathalie est partie dans la dignité et elle nous laisse un témoignage de vie qui nous emplit d'admiration. Son courage et sa présence nous accompagnent pour toujours.

Nathalie was an amazing fundraiser and we learned a lot from her. On behalf of all the Japanese Women's Leadership Initiative (JWLI) fellows, we express our deepest condolences. Oh, we are so sad....

I am so grateful to have known Nathalie. My memories of her brings a smile to my soul. Our last conversation was so cordial as we caught up on personal and professional events. We often were the last to leave the office at night. Nathalie you will be missed. My deepest heartfelt condolences to Thomas and her family.

Je suis très attristée. Nathalie was indeed an exceptional person, caring and with so much humour. Je pense à Thomas, à Josh et sa famille, et aux autres frères et soeurs de Thomas qui chérissaient si fort Nathalie parce qu'on ne pouvait que l'apprécier. Je pense aussi à Caroline que je ne connais pas mais pour qui avoir perdu 2 sisters in a raw must be so hard.

I had the pleasured to meet and work with Nathalie. She was very value and respected member of our team at Ellis. She helped us to move Ellis forward in numerous ways. The effects of her passing are being felt here by all of us and she will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.

Nathalie was a kind and dedicated professional who worked to improve the lives of those she so proudly served.
We are all better for having known her.
Rest in peace Nathalie
