For many years, Faye devoted her time to The Renaissance Club, Varied Arts Club, and Forum. She enjoyed playing bridge with the Friday bridge club and spending time with her many dear friends who meant so much to her. She also had a big heart for animals, and adopted and loved several rescue pets over the years, the last one named Buddy, who was a wonderful companion to her later in life.
