A native of Lafayette, Louisiana, Faye got her Real Estate License in Lafayette and actively did appraisals for the Lafayette Sheriff's Office up until a month before her death. Managing her appraisal business from her home, Faye enjoyed her active status as a respected business person. Her advice was sought and treasured by others. Faye cherished her worldwide travels with her son, brought family and friends together through her love of cooking and enjoyed the companionship of her Jack Russell, Penny. Inheriting her love of flowers from her mother, Martha Duhon, Faye created a tranquil paradise in her yard surrounding her house that the family continues to love.
