She was raised in the Sleeper community and attended Stoutland High School. For the next thirty years, she was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family. She also worked as a Certified Nurses’ Assistant and was employed by Tri-County Nursing Home in Richland for a number of years. She later worked at the Bland Senior Citizen Home in Lebanon and then in Crocker, Missouri. She had made her home in Lebanon for the last several years.
Fay had converted to the Catholic faith, but her heart was still with the Pentecostal church.
She enjoyed bowling and was a member of a bowling league for several years. She liked to sing, crochet, and play card and dice games. Her family was always central in her life and she especially enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was always there for her family and was always willing to help others. She remained steadfast in her convictions through the years.
Fay was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
