LOUISBURG - Fannie Barbara Patterson Hayes was born in Franklin County January 6, 1917. The widow of Graham K. Hayes, she raised her two children on the farm that she dearly loved. She loved her vegetable garden and her flower garden more. She always grew special flowers for her church, Shiloh United Methodist Church, and they adorned the altar every Sunday for over fifty years. She was loved by all who knew her. She loved life and the life she had with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. God has blessed her with all His love. She will live forever in all our hearts. We will see her one day in Heaven; she is at rest now, in the arms of God. He was her strength and ours too.
