Picture taken by a granddaughter
Fay was my mother's best friend. They were in the Keynotes together. They would make candy together, make quilts, and do canning. My mother was a convert to the church and Fay was the best example of being a true christian. She extended her knowledge and hands to helping teach each one of my moms children (8 of us) learn to cook, quilt, and to become better individuals. We have been blessed to have known her. From daughter number 5 of Bonnie Pugh.
What a beautiful lady, inside and out!
