She worked various jobs before going to work at SMSU as a custodian for over twenty years. Faye loved spending time with family and friends; that was her greatest joy in life. She loved baking, cooking, playing cards and games. Faye enjoyed crocheting and quilting. She was an avid sports fan and loved watching and following her grandchildren’s basketball careers.

She is preceded in death by her parents, husband “Bollie”, great grandson Andrew Julius Peterson, five brothers, and four sisters.
My sympathy and prayers are with all of Faye’s family! She is now at peace in her heavenly home!
Thinking of your families at this sad time. Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother.
Or Sympathy to Faye Anna’s family,
Faye and Bollie lived in our neighborhood north west of Russell, great families.
We stayed in touch thru the years and they even joined with us for family reunions.
They are missed, many good times.

I first met Faye when I was a student at Southwest State and she has been a part of my life ever since. I will miss her laugh, her stories, and her big heart. Always remember those wonderful times you had with your mom! I know that Faye and Bollie are out there together planning something…..that should put a smile on everyone’s face.
Faye was my Great Aunt…I’m really going to miss her very much!!! My fiancé really loved Faye like she was one of his own Auntie’s. I love you Auntie Faye… Hope you, Grandpa, and Uncle Bollie are having fun playing cards…
