Funeral services for Faye Gaspard Foreman, age 94 of Ruston, LA will be held at 2:00 PM, Monday, September 29, 2025 at Owens Memorial Chapel with Pastor Sarah Ingram officiating. Burial will follow in Forest Lawn Cemetery under the direction of Owens Memorial Chapel Funeral Home of Ruston.

Faye was born May 24, 1931 and passed away peacefully at home Thursday, September 25, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. In 1952, Faye graduated from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA, where she received her Registered Nursing Degree with the very first nursing class at Northwestern. She began her nursing career at St. Francis Cabrini Hospital in Alexandria, LA but later joined Dr. A.N. Evans Pediatric Clinic where she worked until 1968.

Faye met her "knight in shining armor" Paul, at the England Air Force Base NCO Club after her friend, Ruth, arranged for him to ask her to dance. They married a year later and moved to Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX, with three teenage children, two cats, and a dog. Two years later, they moved again to Ruston, LA after Paul accepted a position at LA Tech ROTC program. Faye began working in pediatrics at Green Clinic with Dr. Brown, Dr. Moncrief, and Dr. Everist, and later with Dr. Daher and Dr. McGehee. She was very devoted to her patients and absolutely loved being able to reward them with a sucker at the end of their visit. Faye ended her nursing career of over 25 years in 1993 as Dr. Everist personal nurse.

Faye and Paul loved traveling in their motor home, as members of the Good Sam Club, with their beloved fur babies, Pepper and Booger, a tradition her parents started after they retired. Faye enjoyed dancing, going out to eat, (cooking was not her thing) and loved eating her sweets. She and Paul made many friends while attending Ruston Church of God, then later, North Hodge Church of God. They enjoyed worshipping, witnessing salvation of souls, revivals, and fellowship with their brothers and sisters in Christ.

Faye was preceded in death by her parents, Lemay Joseph and Edna Cole Gaspard; and her husband of 52 years, the love of her life, Paul R. Foreman. She is survived by her children, Kathy Lacaze (Bubba), Vicki Staples (Leon), Johnny Thiels (Jennifer, Daughter-in-love), and Joey Foreman; six grandchildren: Keith Melancon (Simone), Greg Melancon, Michael Lacaze (Holly), Mindy Bassham (Charlie), Tommy Thiels (Avery), and David Thiels (Tanya); seven great-grandchildren and a host of other family and friends.

The family would like to thank her loving caregivers, Michelle Galbreath, who gave her constant love and attention for the past two years, Cheyenne Morrow, who was her bingo buddy and kept her laughing this past year, Allegiance Home Health, and Premier Hospice team, Kim Roberson, Lacy Youngblood, and Amy Wilson Vance.

In lieu of flowers, the family request contributions be made to St. Jude's Children Hospital.
