It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Faye Dockery Buchanan, who left us on October 23, 2025, at the age of 76. Born on March 10, 1949, Andrea was known for her vibrant spirit and her love for the great outdoors. She cherished every moment spent with family and friends, creating countless memories that will be remembered forever.
Andrea was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Walter and Sally Dockery, her brother Robert, and her sister Barbara. She leaves behind her devoted husband of over 33 years, Paul Buchanan, along with her sons, Norman Roberts (Tammy) and Reece Roberts (Kathy), her daughter Jody Lockaby (Eddie), and her stepdaughter Drenda Hardy (John Kaylor). Andrea is also survived by her brother Jim Dockery, sister Mary Scissom, several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her loving mother-in-law, Juanita Buchanan.
Friends and family are invited to join together to celebrate Andrea's life with a graveside service on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Edgewood Cemetery in Lowell. As we gather to remember Andrea, let us honor her love for nature and family, values that shaped her life.
Rest in peace, dear Andrea. You will be missed but never forgotten.
