I am truly sorry for your loss....Mrs. Whitson was a wonderful lady and great friend to all of us at the Boys' Club. As far as I am concerned, she ran Whitsitt School. Her beautiful smile and wonderful personality is how I'll always remember her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Charlie Finchum

We were deeply saddened to hear of Faye's passing. I taught at Whitsitt from 1965 to 1969 and well remember her.

I have such wonderful memories of Faye both from Whitsett and the neighborhood. She was such a wonderful friend of my mom and me. I'll never forget the day I got my driver's license I drove out to visit with her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Love much,
