Faye Hendrix Terry
June 25, 1937 - October 8, 2022
Faye Terry, 85, passed from this life on Saturday, October 8, 2022, while in the loving care of her family. Faye was born June 25, 1937, in the Kitchens Mill Community of Lawrence County to Harvey Andrew Hendrix and Mable Clara Kitchens Hendrix. Faye was married to James Lewis Terry in 1955.

After the death of her husband, Faye continued to raise her two daughters in a Christian home taking them on fun and educational trips whenever possible. She warmly welcomed the girls' friends who would visit and her door was always open to them.
Faye was a church secretary for many years and after her children were grown, she was
employed by Osborne's Jewelry in Athens for over 20 years in accounting. She was a
longtime member of Westmeade Baptist Church.
Faye adored each and every member of her family and the grandchildren and great
grandchildren loved to visit with their precious "Boo Boo".

photographed memorial stones throughout Morgan and Lawrence Counties and published them with memorials on the Findagrave site as well as providing as much genealogical information as could be obtained for each memorial.
