We will surely miss Faye on our cruises and around the Red Oaks Park. Tom always called her his Hillbilly Friend and they would laugh together. She was such a lovely lady. Thanks for being our friend. Eleanore and Tom Wheeler

Having Mrs. Smith as a teacher was probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. She was stern when I needed stern and taught me that there was no such thing as getting good results without giving good effort. Forever grateful for my two years with her. Rest In Peace beautiful lady.

So sad to hear this. I loved Mrs. Smith! I always admired her jewelry! As a young girl, I would always love seeing what she would wear...she always matched perfectly! She was such a good teacher! She influenced many, many lives during her teaching career and I'm sure she will be missed so much by other friends and family. Prayers for all.
