Granny Faye served as a nurse at Flowers Hospital for thirty-nine years and was loved by her co-workers and patients. She loved cooking huge, delicious meals for family and friends. Everyone was welcome at Granny Faye’s table. Granny Faye loved fishing, and no fish was too small for her frying pan. Granny loved to garden and put up vegetables. She could cook a delicious meal in a few minutes using her garden vegetables and baking her yummy biscuits and frying her mouthwatering cornbread. She loved animals and hated to see an animal go hungry or be mistreated. Many times, she used her nursing skills to help injured and sick animals. Granny Faye had a great sense of humor. Sometimes she would make jokes about her age.
