Buell "Faye" Howe (Buffalo)'s Obituary
Buell “Faye” (Turner) Howe was born June 11, 1929, in Elkland, Missouri to Joseph Richard and Lettie (Daulton) Turner. She passed away on Tuesday June 27, 2023, at the age of 94 years and 16 days of age at Cox South Medical Center after a brief illness.
Faye grew up in the Buffalo area where she attended Engle & Chicago schools. She was one of eight children. She would often laugh and tell stories about her childhood. Her sense of humor was enjoyed by many. She had a feisty personality and a contagious laugh.
Faye married William Arthur Howe on December 21, 1952, and to this union two children were born. She was a homemaker most of her life where she doted on her children and grandchildren. She loved to cook and she often canned her own food. No one ever left her house hungry. Many can recall the hours spent playing Rook and other games around her kitchen table.
