Faye went to be with the Lord on Sept 10th, 2021 at the age of 88. She was Born on July 23rd, 1933 to William & Margaret McGuire, as the youngest of 6 brothers and sisters. Faye’s family moved from her birthplace of Winstone, Tx. to Fresno, Ca, in 1946, at age 13.
Faye met Don Petrie(20) at age 18, and later they married and had two children, Greg and Donna. Faye was a successful housewife, cook, housekeeper, child psychologist and (real) Executive Secretary, in all her spare time.
Later in life, as a single lady, she met and wed Roger Conner (a great step-dad). Then Roger, Faye, Greg & Donna joined the People’s Church in 1967, and all four accepted Christ during the following year.
Well after Greg and Donna moved on to their College years, Faye married Randall Curry, (a really nice guy).
Randy went to be with the Lord about 1995, and Faye moved to a smaller, cosy apartment, where she often remarked that she was contented living alone with the Lord as her constant companion and Father. Others saw her grow in the Lord as a devoted follower, worshiper, and prayer warrior.
In Mom’s final days she was still and quiet just waiting for the Lord’s timing. Among other prayers, I finally prayed that God please consider changing his plan, to let her go to Him now… to give her peace with Him sooner, rather than later. In 1 ½ minutes she gently stopped breathing. In another 90 seconds I saw the pulse visible in her neck trail off to nothing.
He gave her peace.
I say, “she fully recovered”.
Praise be to God!
A visitation for Faye will be held Friday, September 24, 2021 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Stephens and Bean Funeral Chapel, 202 North Teilman, Fresno, CA 93706, followed by a funeral service from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
