Her children and grandchildren enjoyed some of her favorite dishes which include her Corned Beef and Cabbage, her Baked Ham Dinners and her famous Peanut Butter Fudge. Faye was a caregiver to so many, this was more than just family members, she cared for several friends in so many ways, whether visiting on a daily basis making sure all had what they needed, or moving several right in her home and caring for them until she was no longer able to give them the help that was needed.
