Born in Commerce to the late Grover and Irene Teece Towns, Faye worked as an insurance biller at Peach County Hospital for 20 years and at Diversified Pharmacy in Macon. She had a "green thumb" and enjoyed coffee, the Georgia Bulldogs, days spent shopping with her girls, and spending time with her grandchildren. She loved God and was a devoted member of Chamlee Baptist Church where she sang in the choir. Survivors include her beloved husband, Kevin Ward; her daughters, Kelly Selph and Kim Tresco (Nick); and grandchildren, Kelsey (Phillip Fisher), Kade, Evincole Tresco, and Kellianne Tresco (Tanner Wilder). She is preceded in death by her precious fur baby "Sadie".
