We loved Faye and loved being next-door neighbors for the past 26 years. When she called and said “meet me at the fence,” we knew we were getting some delicious cake. We have so many memories and we’ll miss her so much.
I knew her for only a short time, but her memory will last forever.
We have known Mrs.Lipe for many years, probably at least 47 years. She was a loving person. Never forgot anyone. I know she will be missed by so many people however she is at the feet of Jesus rejoining. We love you grandchildren, Daniel, Beth, and Melissa.

She was such a wonderful, kind friend. She loved her family completely.
My prayers are with you. I worked with Faye at AT&T. She was a fun, caring person.
My husband and I used to mow Fayes yard for her. She was always so loving and usually had some sort of goodies to eat. She would love to sit and talk. Which we always made time for. We could and did learn so much from her. She was a great Christian lady and could not wait to be with the Lord. He gained a special angel, she will be missed.
