She enjoyed the Friendship Pinochle Club. But mostly Faye loved her family; she loved them with all her heart. She had the gift of making everyone know of her love and how special they were to her. Her children adored her, and that passed right down to every grandchild, and beyond. She had a special place in her heart for nieces and nephews, and was so kind to all. She had a special bond with all her siblings throughout her life. She loved family reunions, playing pinochle, traveling with her husband, and camping.
