You will always be remembered.
Fay you had such a kind soul and a wonderful outlook on life. You will be missed. I know you and nana are up in heaven playing a game cribbage together remembering the good and the bad times, but all worth it!
Fay you were the best friend my mother could have ever been blessed with. Your reach was beyond Mom and encompassed her whole family. Your roll in our lives was like a matriarchal. We will miss you
My certificate of attendance in the nursery at Calvary Baptist was signed by you and you took care of me while my family attended services upstairs. I will always remember you as kind, gentle and caring. You were a good friend to all of my family.
Rest in heavenly peace.
Fay……to a most beautiful / wonderful women who LOVED everyone and shared her love with EVERYONE especially those involved with Calvary Baptist Church in Lowell & beyond.
Auntie Faye, I am very saddened by your passing. You were a great influence in my life, and helped make me the person that I am. I will always remember when you took my brothers, and I, on our annual Christmas shopping night, when we were young. It was the best
Time in our lives. God Bless. I will never forget you.
I’ve known Faye for a long time, she was a friend of my aunt Lois Lilly and became a family friend. Always helping others with such a kindness. I would look for her when I shopped at the five a dime downtown lowell then a Kmart in Billerica and seen her help so many on holidays cooking for folks living at Francis gate house apartments. Rest In Peace Faye
