Faye Griffith Smith, (86) of Eden, North Carolina died the 21st of December, 2024. Faye was the daughter of the late Edward Lee Griffith and Minnie Ruth Griffith and sister, Sylvia Gray of Cascade, Virginia, where she was born and raised. Faye graduated from Brosville High School and received degrees from Ferrum College and High Point University. Faye enjoyed her years working as a Christian Education Director in Lynchburg and Richmond, Virginia, teaching in elementary school in Brosville and Richmond, working in Cambridge Health and Rehab Center as an Activities Director and taking care of the infants in St Mary’s Childcare Centre in Richmond, and serving customers at CVS in Eden, North Carolina.
Faye enjoyed home cooking, family and friends, and worship and fellowship at Harmony Church; she was at her happiest in times that combined all three. She stayed active with her friends at Brookdale in Eden and was most proud of any time she could brighten someone’s day. She never stopped smiling and joking, and we will all miss and remember her wit.
Faye is survived by two daughters, Mary Ruth Smith Peeler of Surrey, England and Elizabeth Faye Valencia of Scottsdale, Arizona; her grandchildren, Annagail Katherine Peeler, Genevieve Elizabeth Peeler, Edward Ernest Valencia, Junior, and Jacob Levi Valencia; her brother Leon Edward Griffith of Cascade, Virginia and many favorite nieces, nephews and cousins.
