Faye was very dedicated to the Lord, and was a proud member of the Beechmont Baptist Church and their Women's Club for many years. In her spare time, Faye loved to travel, sing, dance, and just generally have a good time. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
In addition to her parents, Byrd and Sarah Middleton Turner, Faye is preceded in death by her loving husband, Matthew Potts; daughter, Margaret "Maggie" Boyer; and 2 sisters, Verda Jo Painter, and Margaret Turner.
