Faye was born in Franklin County and spent most of life here. She was an active member of Louisburg Baptist Church, and also played bridge regularly with a group of wonderful ladies for many, many years. She was a homemaker when her children were young, and later helped Johnny at the dry cleaning business, and finally went to work at Louisburg College after they sold the business. In 2014 she retired and became a full-time Grandma which was her greatest joy.
