She has always loved holding babies and had a talent for calming infants and toddlers. Faye was known for her quick wit, strong opinions, and her willingness to share her thoughts openly. She found enjoyment in working on word search puzzles and found comfort in reading her Bible throughout her life.

In addition to her parents, Faye was preceded in death by her brother, Rex Adkins, and her sisters, Ila Robbins, Margaret Bernice Caldwell and Hazel Stokes. She is survived by her brother, Eugene Adkins, and his wife, Linda, of Knoxville, as well as several nieces and nephews who will continue to cherish her memory.
