I am so sorry that Faye is no longer with us. She was funny and caring, and will definitely be missed. I loved her and she always treated me like family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family Faye had to leave behind. She was so brave through all of this, never loosing a hopeful heart..... even when it turned to acceptance.
She was my first cousin and always has a special place in my mother’s heart. (Her aunt Aline) and mine too. Rest in painless peace, sweet Faye. â™¥ï¸ Freida

To the family of Alta Faye:
I was a friend from Kentucky. Alta Faye was a precious person. She always had a positive attitude and sweet smile. She was easy to talk to and you knew she cared.
I have missed her and kept up with her since she left home because she was special.
I know you will miss her terribly, but always remember how God blessed you with this loving lady in your life.
