To all that knew Faye, you knew that she wanted to stay forever young at heart. Faye was many things; she was a loving mother, daughter, homemaker, farm girl, black top race car driver, a four leaf clover finder, cheer leader, a wonderful writer with beautiful handwriting, restaurant owner at one time, and a friend to many. She loved to sing and dance and to do anything that would bring a smile to her face and to others. She was famous for laughing until she cried.
Preceding Faye in death were her father, Tobe Graham; grandparents and infant brother, Russell.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Natalie Harmon and husband Britt, Dustin Pierpoint and fiancé Melissa Bohling and Spencer Pierpoint all of Rock Port, Missouri; mother, Juanita “Tootsie” Carroll and husband Bob of College Springs, Iowa; significant other, Bobby Carroll of College Springs, Iowa; father of her children, Kirby Pierpoint of Rock Port, Missouri; brother, Galen Graham of Burlington Junction, Missouri; many cousins; nieces and nephews and many friends who will all miss her dearly.
