Wanna Faye was well known for the beautiful display of flowers in her yard. Much in demand were her fried pies and peanut brittle that she and Billy made. Making and delivering her delicious homemade soup and pleasing the grandchildren and great grandchildren with her chocolate gravy and biscuits was something she loved to do.
