Faye was born in New Mexico on December 23, 1932 to Glen and Lola Morris. Her given name was Alma, but she never really cared for that name and preferred to be called Faye. The story behind how she received her given name has always been questionable, but it is an interesting tale. She was married for 65 years to JC, and together they had Cathy, Steve, and Kenny. Kenny went to heaven in 1971, JC in 2017, and Cathy in 2018. Faye joined them on April 30, 2023. Faye became a Christian as a teenager and never looked back. Her faith and love of God and the Bible were evident in the rest of her life. She had many friends and family members who remember her as someone they could always count on for prayer and encouragement. As a child, her family migrated to California. Faye helped her parents raise their family of 10 by helping her mother at home and working in the fields with her father. As a young wife and mother, they moved around California for a few years and then settled in Turlock. Faye loved music and singing, and for a time, she was the choir director at her church. She spent a big part of her life volunteering her time for the church. During her years in Women’s Ministries, she helped make a lot of beautiful quilts, delicious perky pies, and the best ever peanut brittle. Faye was also very creative. As a grandmother to Christa, Melyssa, Teena and Jennifer, she made little dresses, dolls, doll clothes, and blankets for them. For Christmas, she made giant stockings and spent the whole year buying gifts to fill those stockings for her children and grandchildren. In her later years, Faye’s dining table always held two or three Bibles. Each day started with coffee and reading His Word. She also had a playful and somewhat competitive side. Faye’s lucky dice were kept near the dining table, and she was always ready to play a game of Zilch anytime she had a challenger. Her very loyal Sunday evening Zilch buddies will miss the fun times they had together. Faye was known for having a green thumb, and her yard was full of plants, flowers, and succulents that she grew from “starts.” Somehow, if a limb broke off of just about anything, she managed to successfully make a new plant out of it. Faye was previously deceased by her parents and siblings Mildred, Barbara, Bob, Jerry and Jim. She is survived by her son Steve, her granddaughters, nine great-grandchildren, and siblings Lynn and Ed. Faye’s remains will be placed with JC’s at Turlock Memorial Park in a private ceremony. Faye’s family and loved ones will miss her very much, but rejoice in knowing that she is no longer suffering, and is with our Lord and Saviour. The family would like to thank very much the friends and family who have always been supportive, especially during her last days. We would also like to thank the staff at Alexander Cohen Hospice House for their care and compassion. Memorial contributions can be made to Alexander Cohen Hospice House, 2201 Euclid Avenue, Hughson, CA 95326.
