Faye Hegar will always be remembered as a Christian with strong faith, strength, and patience. As a lady, she had great hope, generosity, and uncompromising love for her husband, children, grandchildren, and friends. Her joys in life were preparing for holiday celebrations with her family, walking each afternoon, and nurturing her flowers. In the front of her Bible was a recipe for happiness. "Take: one Christian woman, two or more family members, a large bunch of love, a generous portion of prayer, and some discipline. Stir in one cup of positive thinking which has been sifted with good values, a pinch of the priorities of life and a good sense of balance. Pour into a warm home. Sprinkle with laughter and smiles and spread over all a big hug. Serve with joy. Keeps very well." Faye was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Luby Graeter and Dorothy Baker; and brother, Herman Sanford. She is survived by her loving husband of fifty-five years, A.B. "Boots" Hegar; son, Glenn Hegar and his wife Connie; daughters, Judy Ripple and her husband Robert; Kathy Friedel and her husband Gary; and Ronda Hegar.
