On June 15, 1961, she married the love of her life, Eldon Hulsey. Their marriage of going on 65 years was a beautiful example of devotion, commitment, and enduring love.

Above all, Faye treasured her calling as a homemaker. She was a deeply devoted and loving mother who poured her heart into her children, offering steady guidance, constant encouragement, and unconditional love. She had a special gift for making her home a place of warmth, comfort, and welcome.

Faye was a talented seamstress and quilter who lovingly created beautiful pieces that will be cherished for years to come. She enjoyed cross stitching and took pride in her handiwork.
