Family was at the center of Mrs. Faucette's life and she drew great joy from raising her children and grandchildren. Her children revered her as a woman of great strength, integrity, moral conviction, and determination. Each of her grandchildren valued the time they spent with her in the summers, attending vacation Bible school and frequenting the Tarrara Swim Club. They all remember her as a woman who taught them that they can be whatever they want to be. Mrs. Faucette was an accomplished scholar and biologist. She graduated from Boykins High School in 1926 and State Teachers College in Farmville, Va. in 1930.

Olive College, and Chowan College, where a scholarship has been awarded in her name.
