Faye Leona Lemen

September 1, 1927 – October 18, 2026

Faye Leona Lemen passed away peacefully at home on October 18, 2026, at the age of 99, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born September 1, 1927, Faye married the love of her life, Raymond Lemen, on January 6, 1945. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised their two children, Joyce Hatcher and Thomas Lemen, in their longtime family home on Granger Avenue in National City, California.

In 2005, Faye and Raymond moved onto their granddaughter Sam's property in Alpine, California, to be closer to family. This special arrangement allowed Faye to be part of the everyday lives of her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and eventually great-great-grandchildren. Few things brought her more joy than being surrounded by the generations of family she loved so dearly.

Faye was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Raymond, and son, Thomas. She leaves behind her daughter, Joyce, five grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and seven great-great-grandchildren.

When asked about her secret to a long and healthy life, Faye would say it was being surrounded by loving family and friends and staying active, especially through her love of bowling.

Faye's remarkable 99 years were a testament to a life well-lived, filled with love, laughter, and family.

She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.
