Faye was a proud grandmother to nine precious grandchildren: Krista (Anthony) Yeager, Keith Hano, Courtney (Spencer) Allen, Laurie Oliver, Amanda Williamson, Brittney Whittle, James Whittle, Mandy Whittle, and Lucy Whittle. She also had the joy of being great-grandmother to eighteen cherished great-grandchildren, with the nineteenth on the way, expected to arrive in June.
