FONDARAS--Elizabeth, died peacefully at home in New York City on August 29, 2012. Elizabeth Fondaras, a widely beloved and admired personality both in France and in her native America, dedicated decades of her life to supporting and expanding the relations between France and the United States through her personal initiatives and by generously lending her support to organizations with the same goal. In light of this longstanding work, she was named Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur in 1989 and Officier in 2002. In 2009, President Francois Sarkozy named her Commandeur of the Legion d'Honneur. She was born Elizabeth Temple Robertson in Boston, on March 19, 1916, a descendant of an old Virginia family. After the death of her first husband, Charles E. Miller, she moved to Paris and made that city her home for ten years. In France, she married Theodore Weicker, Jr. of the Squibb pharmaceutical family. The strong friendships she made in France and her love for that country were to shape one of her life's principal objectives --to bring about better understanding between France and the United States. In the early fifties, Mrs. Fondaras established the Elizabeth R. Miller Traveling Scholarship, a highly successful program that brought ten talented young French surgeons to work in outstanding American Hospitals. In 1956, she founded the Elizabeth R. Miller Scholarship for St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, a program that still endures as The Elizabeth R. Weicker Scholarship for St. Paul's School. Over the fifty-year course of this program, she has supported the education at St. Paul's School of close to 100 French boys and girls, many of whom have gone on to become prominent professionals in France. In 1971, Mrs. Fondaras married Anastassios Fondaras (deceased June 1999), a retired Commander in the Royal Greek Navy and former managing director for Stavros Niarchos. The couple settled in New York, keeping a pied a terre on the Ile St. Louis in Paris. In 1972, the State Department recognized her with a Tribute of Appreciation saying .... Her personal initiative is in keeping with the finest traditions of Franco-American friendship. At the time of her death, her ties to France were as strong as ever, as she continued to her work with and active support of, the Pasteur Foundation for which she had been the founding Chairman of its American Advisory Board since 1989. Her work also included service as the Vice-Chairman of the French American Foundation. In addition to the Legion d'Honneur, Mrs. Fondaras also received the Medal of the Center for French Civilization and Culture and served as Chairman of the Advisory Board of La Maison Francaise of New York University. She has served on many boards including those of St. Paul's School, the American Friends of Blerancourt, the Institute of International Education, the Children's Storefront School in Harlem and the Foreign Policy Association. Mrs. Fondaras' ever-present warmth, charm, strength of purpose and generosity of spirit will be sorely missed by her large circle of friends at home and abroad. She is survived by a loving family of stepchildren and step-grandchildren, including Theodore Weicker of Palo Alto, California, Tara Lamont of Rio de Janiero, Brazil and Antonia Fondaras of Washington, D.C. The funeral service will be held on Saturday September 1st at 11:00am at St. Luke's Church, 18 James Lane, East Hampton. A memorial service to be held in New York City will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers please send contributions either to the French American Foundation, 28 West 44th Street, Suite 1420, New York, NY 10036 or Pasteur Foundation, 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 1654, New York, New York 10170.
