Faye loved the Lord and greatly enjoyed reading her Bible every day. Her daily Bible reading was her favorite. When she was not reading her Bible, you could find Faye reading murder mystery novels, especially the ones written by Nicholas Sparks and James Patterson. In addition to reading, Faye enjoyed watching Hallmark movies and shopping; yet most her of shopping trips ended in at a seafood restaurant because that was her favorite food. To know Faye was to love her. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, especially her family, friends, and her beloved puppies. Faye's home was filled with many photos that displayed a wonderful life of memories, laugher, and joy.

The family will receive friends from 9:00-10:00 am at Cotten Funeral Home. A funeral service will begin at 10 a.m. on Monday, August 18, 2025, with Rev. Angel Lorton officiating the service. Following the service, Faye will be laid to rest beside her husband, Lawrence, at Greenleaf Memorial Park.
