Faye was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, niece and friend.  She lived a full and wonderful life.  She worked outside the home at Judd Drugs Store where she met and made many friends.  She cherished her time going out to breakfast and playing cards with these awesome ladies.  You all were so close and dear to her heart.

I, as her daughter would like to thank everyone that touched my Mother’s life, especially Dale and Connie Heisey and Ruth (Knepp) Bontrager.  You helped her so very much by giving her help and advice throughout the years.  I also wish to thank John Dexler and her church family for all the love and support you gave her.  Thank you to all the doctors, nurses and nursing aids at Goshen Hospital.

Agnes was a member of the First Brethren Church of Goshen.  She enjoyed bowling and watching the NBA Bulls whenever possible.
