The most important thing to Fay was her family. She always enjoyed spending time with them and having them visit her. She enjoyed sewing and would make matching outfits for her daughters.

Fay gave her life to the Lord at an early age and was dedicated to serving God and putting Him first in her life. She enjoyed attending church and especially liked attending singing services with Ralph. Because of her decision to follow Christ, she is now reunited with her beloved husband and daughter.
