Faye was a very accomplished person starting her first job at 16 years old working at the Social Security office and buying her first car all while attending high school. When Faye turned 18 years old she started working for GTE General Telephone Company with determination and hard work Faye's career started to advance rapidly. While working at GTE she met her husband George Tryon when she was in her later 20's, Faye remained at GTE until the merging with Verizon where she was promoted to regional service manager. Just one of her many accomplishments Faye spoke about was working with the Secret Service and the FBI to establish all the communications for President Ronald Regan while appearing at the Queen Mary in Long Beach Ca. for a convention rally.

When GTE merged with Verizon, Faye traveled around the country setting up nationwide communication hubs for the merger and establishing Verizon offices in multiple states, during this time Faye achieved her Bachelor's degree.
Faye was Baptized and Confirmed in 1991 at Our Lady of Refuge in Long Beach, California. Faye was an active parishioner in the church for many years. Mary Agnes Powell was her Godmother.

Faye purchased her home in Westlake Village California in 1999 and within a few years after that Faye retired from GTE/Verizon in 2003.
Faye with love and tender care provided hospice for her older Sister Bobbie Jean until her passing in 2004.
Faye sought to stay continuously busy which included getting her real-estate license where Faye met multiple Hollywood celebrities to sell or purchase their homes.

Faye continued to study in her pastime, which included physical therapy and phlebotomy where she received her license for both, to practice message therapy for persons with disabilities, and draw blood samples.

Faye then applied and accepted a position as a medical assistant to a Doctor in Westlake Village where Faye assisted the Doctor with patient visits and maintained medical files in the office.

At that time Faye became friends with a patient, his name Bob Eubanks a well-known disc jockey, television personality and game show host, and maintained contact throughout the years. Bob Eubanks had given Faye an autographed biography and an autographed poster of the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl in 1964 that Bob had promoted during the Beatles early career in the USA.

Faye purchased her home in Sedona Arizona in 2004 continuously visiting and enjoying the scenic community until 2015 when Faye moved there, making Sedona her residence. After arriving, Faye became a parishioner at St John Vianney Catholic Church and began working at the Chapel of the Holy Cross, she loved her faith and enjoyed the camaraderie with her coworkers.

Faye then continued her career in the medical field, working in various positions - managing, medical office assistant, infectious disease, and finally finding her calling in the Oncology department. She once said, "If I had it to do over, that is where I would have begun - in the medical field".

Faye was diagnosed with a terminal medical issue. Shortly after, Faye contacted her younger sister Jackie and asked if she would take the journey with her. Faye, after a long hard determined battle, finally succumbed to the illness November 25th, 2025 at her home in Village of Oak Creek, Arizona.

Faye is survived by her younger sister Jacquelyn L. Clark/Nelson. Faye is preceded in her passing by her Mother Arlyne, Father Jack and her Sister Bobbie Jean.
