Faye worked as a Secretary at Health Care Business Consultants for 42 wonderful years. Faye

loved her family more than anything else in the world. She always looked forward to the

Holidays where she went all out with decorations and enough food to feed an Army. She

enjoyed watching Perry Mason and doing word searches. She loved Family beach trips and

time at the lake, where she was at peace on night rides on the boat. Her favorite times were

when her family was all together, and the house was full of laughter. She will always be

remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

A time of visitation will be held from 6:00 pm -7:00 pm Wednesday, January 29, 2025 in the Robbie Capps Memorial Chapel of Blue Ridge Funeral and Cremation Service.
