Anca Aldrin, nee Faur, the wife of Gemini and Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin, has died. She was 66. Buzz and Anca were married on Jan. 20, 2023. Statement from Faur and Aldrin Families:Dr. Anca Aldrin, wife of astronaut Buzz Aldrin, peacefully passed away last night [Oct. 28, 2025] with her husband and her son, Vlad Ghenciu by her side. Mrs. Aldrin, an accomplished chemical engineer with a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh, served as the treasurer for the California Hydrogen Business Council and as Executive Vice President of Buzz Aldrin Ventures LLC. "I am so fortunate to have found and married the love of my life," said General Aldrin. "She brought joy to everything we did together. I will miss her dearly." Her family requests privacy in their time of mourning.  |

I met Anca several times when helping Buzz on his last couple of Sotheby's auctions. She was smart, beautiful and fun to be around. She did love and care for Buzz. You could see and feel it. A sad passing.

I'm so sorry for Buzz. He deserves a partner in his twilight years, and he seemed to have found her. |
