Very special thanks to her granddaughter, Jessica Light, who has been her day-to-day caregiver for the last three years. Jessica enhanced and kept Maw Maw’s quality of life in her last years.
Faye AKA Maw Maw Luv was a special person to all. She was funny, classy, truthful, loving, direct, and sometimes inappropriate! She believed in the best of people, and she lived her life in a manner before her children and those around her that honesty and truthfulness came first. She never compromised her integrity. For so many, she was a dedicated caretaker with the Visiting Nurse Association and went on later to take care of many family members. She loved life, laughter, her family, day trips with her children, birds, plants, crossword puzzles, cooking and baking, and crocheting. She left behind so many pieces of crocheted art that will be cherished by her family. But the biggest thing she is leaving behind is her legacy of love. She made everyone feel special and loved and was genuine in everything she did.
