Faye was Born February 25, 1949 in Jesup, Georgia to the late Roy Carr Coker and Bertie Lou L. Young. Faye grew up and attended school in Nahunta, Georgia. In 1965, after marrying Pete, they would move to Illinois where Faye went back to school to earn a degree from Richland College in Decatur, Illinois. She and Pete with their two children, Lisa and Don, moved back to Brunswick, Georgia in 1981 and have called the city home ever since.

Faye obtained her Paralegal Degree from Coastal College in Brunswick. She worked as a paralegal for Attorney Jim Williams for over 20 years, and then part time for Attorney Perry Fields, as well as Gazelle Commercial Real Estate before her retirement.

Faye was a member of Golden Isles Baptist Church, was an avid photographer, she loved horses and enjoyed working in her rose garden. Faye loved to watch football and was a dedicated Chicago Bears fan. She loved every Sunday afternoon that she could spend with the family as they would gather to watch the Bears play. Faye was a beautiful person inside and out and her heart belonged to her family and friends. To her grandchildren, she was a Nana like no other, spending every minute possible with her family, especially cheering them all on at the ball fields every chance she could, passing down family recipes and being there at the drop of a hat no matter the matter or hour. She will be deeply missed by all those who were fortunate enough to have known such a remarkable soul.

Survivors include her husband of 57 years, Pete Peterson, two children, Lisa and son-in-law Tim Wilson, and Don Peterson and daughter-in-law Ali all of Brunswick, five grandchildren, Brandon Wilson, Joey Wilson, Shelby Wilson, Lauren Peterson, and Mallory Peterson, two great grandchildren, Annlynn McCoy and Jayden Higgins, a brother John Cocker and wife Janet of Dallas, Texas, several nieces and nephews. www.edomillerandsons.com
