Faye was born on October 7, 1938, in Terry, Mississippi, to Lexie and Mamie Truitt. She spent her childhood in and around Jackson, Mississippi, where she began a life filled with family, hard work, and lasting memories.
She attended Forest Hill High School, graduating as salutatorian of her class. Faye went on to dedicate her professional life to the mortgage and loan industry. She began her career with Kimbrough Investment Company and later finished her career at Realty Mortgage.
Beyond her work, Faye found great happiness in tending to her yard and flower beds. It was something she truly loved. Although rheumatoid arthritis, which she battled for much of her adult life, eventually made it difficult for her to continue doing what she loved, she never let her struggles take away her positive outlook on life. She faced her challenges with quiet strength, determination, and grace, rarely complaining and always moving forward.
In her later years, she enjoyed reading and working her Sudoku puzzles. She also had a wonderful sense of humor and a contagious love of laughter. Those who knew Faye will remember her strength, her resilience, and the joy she brought through her laughter and wit.
Faye is survived by her two children, Jennifer King and Jimmy Guzman (Louanne); her grandchildren, Grant Guzman, Seth King, and Elizabeth Anderson; and numerous great-grandchildren, all of whom will cherish her memory.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Howard Bruner; her son, David Guzman; her parents, Lexie and Mamie Truitt; her granddaughter, Jessica Koenig; and her brothers, Thomas Truitt and Malcolm Truitt.
Faye's life was one of perseverance, strength, and quiet determination. She will be deeply missed by her family and all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Though she is no longer with us, the memories, laughter, and love she leaves behind will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
A Celebration of Life will be held on November 12, 2026, at Parkway Funeral Home, located at 1161 Highland Colony Parkway, Ridgeland, Mississippi 39157. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m., followed by the funeral service at 2:00 p.m.
She will live forever in our hearts.
