She was raised in the Depression era and during WW2. She learned valuable lessons and raised her own family with great care. She was a beautiful mother, dedicated wife, sweet lady and friend to so many. She was the perfect lady. We will cherish all the fond memories of her life for eternity. She had many good friends such as Virginia Costa, John Vitalich (Bowser), Lee Casalicchio (The Fireman) and so many others. Fay was a frequent visitor to the race track circuit of Southern California. From Santa Anita, Hollywood Park and Del Mar they knew her starting from the parking and gate attendants , the ushers, the bartenders to the kitchen staff. They respectfully called her, "Ms. Fay".

She was a very kind and respectful woman who always looked at the good in people and would regard their faults as "fixable". She had a very endearing way about life. May she rest in peace with the all the old gang!
