Faye was a member of the Mouth of Wilson Baptist Church.  As a lady of great faith, she loved listening to gospel music. Her family rejoices that her hope has now been made complete and her faith has become reality.  She enjoyed coloring books and puzzles.  She loved working in her flower gardens enjoying nature.  She gave special attention to her birds and was dedicated to maintaining her birdfeeders.  As a daughter of the mountains, she loved gardening and canning.  She took great joy in her family and delighted in providing for them.  She enjoyed baby sitting and especially relished having her grandchildren and great grandchildren around her.  She also cherished spending time with her sister, Drenda Roten.  While Faye endured failing health for many years, she was fortunate to have her family as caregivers.  Even in her final few weeks in the nursing home, her family was by her side.  The family wishes to express their most sincere appreciation to her grandson, Elijah Clampett, for his most kind and compassionate care to his grandmother during her illness.  They also wish to express their appreciation to Mountain Valley Hospice, especially Wanda, Lakin, and Savanna as well as the staff of Grayson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
