Celebrating Libby's Life and Her Beautiful Legacy

Dear Community,

We come together today with heavy hearts and deep sorrow to raise money for the celebration of life for Olivia Faye Faria-Stroud (Libby), an extraordinary, remarkable, hard working, unforgettable 29-year-old woman whose life was tragically cut short on 9/21/24. Libby was an incredibly loving mother, sister, friend and daughter and leaves behind her two beautiful daughters Effee (4) Joy Ross and Doris (2) Kimberly Ross.

Libby was born to Timothy Raye Stroud and Lisa Marie Faria as their youngest child together. Olivia was deeply loved and taken away from her siblings Ana, Timmy, and Yuvia. Olivia never lacked for passion and wisdom. She left Yakima WA for Seattle at 19 and immediately found a passion at a small shop called U-Frame it where she framed not only art but instruments and family keepsakes. Her interest grew for art and she started painting and hosting art shows. She soon sparked an interest to open her own gallery and decided to pursue culinary arts, hoping to one day open a cafe where she could host and sell local art.

Olivia absolutely loved Seattle. To her the possibilities in the sleepless city were endless. Olivia's love and passion for art never stopped, she found herself immersed in culinary art. She worked in the worst of the worst only to find herself preparing meals for VIP guests at the Century Link, Lumen Field, and the Hilton.

Olivia served the children of Seattle during the heart of covid as well as our national guard and she absolutely loved it. Her skill and passion couldn't be hidden as she served our Seattle Seahawks, guest teams such as the Raiders as well as sir-mix-alot and countless other guests. She dreamed of creating an amazing life for her daughters she didn't want them to ever go without.

It's not fair that she's gone. In such a short life she's accomplished so much and touched so many people who she proudly called friends. We're very heartbroken and the loss we're experiencing hurts more than ever but regardless we have to say goodbye and want to give Olivia a proper celebration of life.

Everything donated will go towards the cost of creating jewelry from her ashes for her girls, and a venue for her celebration of life. Everything in excess will go to Effee and Doris and their beautiful and bright futures I know they will have with their mother as their angel.

Your generosity, no matter the amount, will be deeply appreciated. It will help give this loving family what they need to grieve and start to mend their broken hearts at her celebration of life.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Family of Olivia Faye Faria-Stroud
