"The Classroom on Wheels"

Minnie Robinson and Elmer Bennett were blessed with a baby girl on October 29, 
1957.  A beautiful little girl named Faye Evelyn.  Faye would grow up to be a 
smiling, talkative, caring child who never met a stranger.  Faye would grow up 
to be a smiling, talkative, caring lady who loved people and always did what she 
could to help others.

Faye attended the public schools of Morehouse Parish.  Even as a young girl, 
Faye was always surrounded by children.  They knew they could talk with her 
about anything.  She would  instruct them in the ways of life, the pitfalls they 
would encounter, and the joys they would experience.  "But, they had to listen!"  

Because of her love, Faye became a bus driver for the Morehouse Parish School 
System.  For over thirty years, Faye Bennett used her bus to mold lives.  She 
would be the first person children saw in the morning and the last one they 
would see in the evening. Because of this, her bus became "A Classroom on 
Wheels."

Faye doted on her grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with them.  She loved 
to shop.  She enjoyed spending quality time with them while visiting local 
stores and those in cities she visited. When she wasn't shopping, she divided 
her time between Wheel of Fortune and Tyler Perry movies.

On February 11, 2026, Faye Evelyn Bennett joined her parents, her brothers,  
Elmer and Arthur, and her beloved son Kinon in a land far from here.  Children 
who had the good fortune to ride her bus will always remember the words of 
wisdom she shared with them in her "Classroom on Wheels."

She leaves to cherish her memory: her grateful daughter, Kalie Bennett, her 
grandchildren, her sister, Velma Braggs, nieces, nephews, cousins, and so many 
friends.  Thousands of children will always remember their first Classroom on 
Wheels, and the extraordinary teacher they called, "Miss Faye."
