So sad to see that my sweet lady is gone. I loved seeing her at Summit. Love and prayers to all. She will be missed dearly.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Growing up on Elmerston Rd, “Russell” was my neighbor, the best, along with Tammy. Never forget the trips to Ryde-n-Hi dude ranch, her wine in the evening, her love of Ginger the dog. She always came over & did mom’s hair, always chatting, laughing having a good time. The time my brother & his friends threw beer cans into her gutters at 2am..she took it all in stride…Rest in Peace “Russell”
Many, many childhood memories. Sweet woman and lovely smile. Peace Fay!

Goodness. I’m a late as usual. I am so sad to hear of my friend, mentor, co-worker has passed. Fay and I started school bus together, then we cleaned houses together. When I needed a temporary home she gave me a place to stay. If not for fay I would have truly been homeless. I will never ever forget you Fay. I will definitely see you in heaven. We will have a million dogs and kitty cats. Thank you sweet Lady for teaching me that women can do it for themselves!
