Fay was a devoted wife and mother, who gave lovingly and sacrificially to

everything she did.  Her other lifelong pursuit was nurturing flowers in her 
yard.  Her sweet spirit will be remembered by all those who knew her.  She 
was a member of Wakefield Baptist Church for 65 years.  The Family gratefully 
acknowledges the loving care and support provided by Hazel Gay and many others 
during the past several years.  The family will receive family and friends
