Grandma Faye touched the lives of many throughout her life. She always enjoyed her time with family and was a great story-teller of her many unique experiences growing up, working, and traveling. She was creative and made beautiful crafts in her free time. She always enjoyed eating and made delicious Italian food.
She had a reserved sense of humor. I will never forget cooking with her as a child and her Julia Child impersonations.
Grandma Faye was very proud of her family and will be missed.
