She and David were longtime members of Highland Heights Baptist Church where she taught Children's Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Girls Auxillary, and led Bible Drill. Later she became a member of Bartlett Baptist Church. She was a longtime volunteer for West Cancer Center. Faye was an excellent cook and baker, winning a blue ribbon at the Mid-South Fair for her cake with caramel icing.
