Faye was a spirited, generous woman who was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Faye lived in many places during her life, including El Paso, Texas; Alexandria, Virginia; Oxen Hill, Maryland; and Houston, Texas, but her two favorite places in the world are Galveston, Texas, and the Bluff on the campus of Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
