Wembley until 1991. Faye and

Faye was well known for her
honesty, great humor, spunky
personality and good
conversations. She enjoyed any
activities that involved spending
time with her late husband
whether it was a football game
in Florida or sitting at home on
the couch watching TV.
In 2009 Faye committed her life
to sobriety and the AA program
where she was a devout member
until her death. She was also a
talented seamstress, and a
natural green-thumb. She loved
music, singing and dancing.
