Faye was a homemaker and later in life, an extraordinary care giver for the elderly. One would have been greatly blessed by her kind and gentle care. Her central focus in life always was her family. She loved to play Yahtzee, read and cook, and she loved rooting for her Kansas City Chiefs. Somewhere in heaven, Faye is enjoying the many cats she loved throughout her life.
Faye was a kind and generous woman who always avoided any attention to herself, preferring to focus on others instead. She always remembered people’s birthdays and took the opportunity to let them know she was thinking of them. The love that she gave in this world will be never forgotten and will be treasured by many.
Mom was the best thing that happened in my life. She was always there when I needed her. She will always be with me in my heart.
