Faye was a very loving, caring honorable lady. She always looked for the good in all people and situations. She had a strong faith in God and trusted Him fully. She was devoted to her family and her many friends. She came from a family that enjoyed music and she and her siblings often sang for others. During her employment at Purdue, Faye was "mom" to many graduate students, for whom she made special birthday cakes. She wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, without drawing attention to herself. Memorials to: American Heart Association.
