Faye was born in Lexington, Oklahoma on November 22, 1933, but due to an error,
her birth certificate says, November 2, 1933. She was raised and attended school
in Lexington, graduating around 1951. On June 8, 1952, she married Mr. L.C.
Bingham, and recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. Faye was a
member of the Wayne Church of Christ. She enjoyed gardening, canning, cooking,
and needle work. Faye would embroidery baby quilts, pillow cases and scarfs, and
has for many years until recently. She was deathly scared of water, but due to
her health, Faye overcame her fear 20 years ago and fell in love with water
aerobics. She met lots of long term friends during her class. Faye loved
teaching bible class to 4 and 5 year olds, and was in charge of the fellowship
dinner ministry for many years. She loved to travel, especially to Mountain
View, Arkansas, as well as spending time with her sister, Betty. Faye loved her
family and spending time with her grandchildren. Her favorite holiday was
Thanksgiving, where she spent lots of time with family, and allowed herself to
eat the things she couldn’t have the other 364 days of the year. Faye was famous
for her snicker doodle cookies, which most of her family would hide from each
other so they didn’t have to share. Everyday after lunch, Faye and L.C would
play cards, and for over 25 years, at 7:00 PM, they played scrabble. Faye was a
wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend.
Faye is preceded in death by her parents, William Oscar and Susie Mae (Johnson)
