Faye Byrd Obituary
It is with deep sorrow and love that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, Faye Marie Byrd, who entered into eternal rest on May 21, 2025.
Faye lived a life marked by unwavering faith, and kindness. She was a lifelong parishioner at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Her name, "Mrs. Faye", was equated with smiles and hugs and kindness by all her church family. Faye worked as a caregiver in afterschool programs at Nativity Elementary and Sacred Heart Elementary. She enjoyed watching over all the "little saints" She truly loved them all and they filled her life with joy. She proudly passed on her faith to them as well as to her own family.
Faye is preceded in death by her parents Frank (Buddy) Goff, Beryl and Perry Fountain and her husband Virgil Byrd. She is survived by her son Barry Byrd, Granddaughter Jennifer (Michael) Necaise; Grandson, Ryan(Alexia) Byrd; and great grandchildren, Lane Necaise, Kalina Byrd, Lyndal Byrd and sister-in-law Becky Fore and many family members and friends.
Though she leaves with us a great loss, she also leaves peace in knowing she is in the arms of her Savior and reunited with her loved ones.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on May 27,2025 at 11 am Visitation 10am-11am followed by interment at Martin Ryan Cemetery.
In Lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Vincent de Paul.
May God rest her soul.
