Faye was born on August 8, 1924 in Minden, LA to the late John and Elsie Burns.  She worked for many years in the Treasurer’s Office for the City of Columbus.  Faye was a very talented and gifted woman who spent her life reaching out to help others.  She enjoyed walking and working crossword puzzles as well as sewing.  Many beautiful clothes were made by her skillful hands just for her daughter.  Music also became a passion in her life, a gift that lives on through her family.  Faye will always be remembered as a loving and dedicated mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.  She will be greatly missed but will always hold a special place in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
