     She was a faithful member of Riley’s Creek Baptist Church and Faye worked at UNCW for a number of years, but her greatest joy in life was being a homemaker.

Faye and Peary instilled in their children and grandchildren a strong work ethic, how to live life as a Christian, and how to love and laugh. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren will always cherish the memories of running into NaNa’s house for hugs, kisses and spearmint gum. Faye’s personality drew people to her, and she formed many wonderful friendships. Especially remembered are all the staff of Pender Memorial Hospital. She loved her 1 West and Rehab family.
