During Faye’s entire life she loved music, especially gospel music. She loved participating in the church choir and sang many solos for the congregation. She even learned how to play the harpsichord to compliment her voice. Faye also loved nature both flora and fauna and was an avid walker when walking was not the craze it is today. If you walked with Faye, you were expected to keep a fast pace.
