Faye retired from Radial, Inc. in Martinsville, VA and moved to Boynton Beach, FL to be with her son and daughter, and enjoy her retirement.  Faye's granddaughter, Megan, and great-grandchildren, Sydney and Mason lived with her in Boynton Beach, FL as well, and loved seeing her enjoy the weather, water, restaurants, wildlife, and so much more.  Faye always looked forward to and loved her adventures with her sisters.  She was an active participant in her daughter's athletic teams; from little league through college, and random tournaments, where Faye was at times a scorekeeper, an assistant coach, or a 1st or 3rd base coach.  Regardless of the role, she was always their biggest supporter and fan, earning the name "Mama Faye".
