Dear Champion family, I was very saddened to hear about Faye. I worked with her for many years at Red River Army Depot across from her in the same office. Oh what a very sweet and special lady she was and a good friend. She always had an encouraging word for me everyday. Heaven has gained a very special angel. My deepest sympathy, thoughts, and prayers are with all the family in the days ahead.

When Teresa & I were teenagers I thought she was one of the most beautiful, strong,intelligent women I had ever known. Now 40 years later, I know she was. She made me believe I could do anything. I hope her entire family will find comfort knowing she and my mom are swapping stories in heaven.
God Bless and keep you safe. Jonnie & Michael
