Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Worked with Faye as an Operator at AT&T for years. No one was more fun to sit by.
    She was such a wonderful, kind friend. She loved her family completely.

  4. We have so enjoyed having Faye as our neighbor. She always made sure to chat with us over the fence – frequently slipping in some funny zingers that make us smile each time we remember them. She kept us (especially our children) well-stocked with delicious cakes and I know they were baked with love. We loved her and she will be missed so much.

  5. I love you Nanny. You will forever be missed. I wish I could be there by you today. You are in my heart and know you are well!

  6. 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.
