Nanny, as she was known by her immediate family, was a faithful member of Fairview Baptist Church, where she spent decades serving in the nursery, singing in the choir, taking care of children in Vacation Bible School, hosting bridal and baby showers, and supporting a variety of other ministries. She was so grateful for her church family and truly lived to serve. Faye loved Jesus and loved the people around her.
