Faye Hook Obituary

LEXINGTON - Ethel Faye Hornsby Hook died Sunday, May 30, 2010. She was the daughter of the late Emma Jackson and W.T. Hornsby.

Born March 4, 1928 in Blaney, SC Faye met the love of her life, Henry 'Buck' Hook, Jr. in June 1946 and married him a mere four months later. Though the courtship was swift, the marriage was one that lasted 64 years and was a love story that lasted a life time. When you saw one you were sure to see the other.

Faye attended the Logan School and Taylor Evangelical Methodist Church. She was preceded in death by eight siblings. She retired from both Mt. Vernon Mills and Capital City Sewing. She was an ever devoted mother and grandmother. Other than her beloved Buck, she leaves behind three sons, Mike (Terry), Larry (Stacey), and Barry, six grandchildren, nine great- grandchildren, a number of very special nieces, nephews, and her faithful dog, Abby.

Faye was a fabulous cook and loved preparing meals for her family. She was a great cake decorator that produced numerous wedding and birthday cakes. Gardening was one of her passions with red roses being her favorite. She had a fabulous sense of humor and loved to tell a good joke but could rarely finish it because of her contagious giggling!

Visitation will be held Tuesday, June 1, 2010 from 6-8 p.m. at Caughman-Harman Funeral Home, West Columbia Chapel. Services will be held on Wednesday, June 2, 2010 at Taylor Evangelical Methodist Church, Richland St. Columbia, SC at 11:00 a.m. with the burial following at Southland Memorial Gardens. Pallbearers will be: James Hook, Brian Hook, Matthew Hook, Scott Black, Ted Mina and Tim Mina.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Babcock Center Foundation P.O. Box 3608 West Columbia, SC 29171.

Uncle Buck and family,
I pray that you will feel the warmth of God as he holds you in his arms at this difficult time in your life. I know that Aunt Faye has been greeted by those who love her in Heaven. I believe upon her arrival they greeted her and said "We have been waiting for you." I know that Mama and Daddy were there, welcoming her to Heaven. And Aunt Faye will be there to welcom us one day!
Much love,
Cyndi

Miss Faye you will always be in my memories, you were a wonderful person and a great neighbor. I still have alot of the flowers and trees that you have given me over the years and now when I see them they will bring a extra smile because you told me once never to thank you for them, I am thanking you now because I know they will be sweeter now. We will MISS YOU! My prayers goes out to the family, because we all know we have lost a jewel!
