Faye was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. 

She graduated Valedictorian from Blue Springs High School in 1962, and married her high school sweetheart, HC, shortly after. Faye & HC had two boys, Kevin & Kerwin, & they were married a wonderful 61 years.

She was a long-time employee of Alfa Insurance Company in Clayton, AL. She spent countless hours taking care of her family, baking, gardening, reading the Bible, and praying. 

Faye was a devoted Christian woman and prayer warrior. She was a faithful and active member of Shiloh Word Fellowship and was always ready to share the love and hope she had in her Savior. 

Her faith and love for Jesus was the most important thing to her, and she poured this love into her family & friends! 

She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. 

She will be greatly missed by her loved ones. However, they rejoice knowing she’s at home and at peace with her Savior, Jesus Christ.

Her heart’s greatest desire was that everyone would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
