Fay attended school primarily in Catoosa and was graduated from high school in Wagoner, Oklahoma. She was a devout Christian having accepted the Lord at an early age at the Assembly of God Church in Catoosa and most recently attended the Lynn Lane Baptist Church until failing health prevented her attending.
She had a winning way about her and always had a ready smile. She enjoyed singing, reading and talking with friends. She lost most of her hearing in the last few years but that did not stop her from telling stories about her life at the Rolling Hills Rest Center where she spent the last years of her life. She will be missed by all who knew her and we will miss her friendly smile.
