    Mrs. Faucette was recognized as Washington Daily News Mother of the Year and celebrated at Union Chapel at 100 years of age. Her faith in God was the stronghold of her life. She touched the lives of all who knew her and leaves behind a legacy of hard work, faith and family values.

Faucette of Chocowinity; her grandchildren: Wanda Brand (JA), Walker Faucette (Alice), Holt Faucette (Page), Kristy Romanga (Randy), Tony Faucette (Lisa) and Allison Oliver (Chris) and her daughter-in-law: Rose Faucette.

    In addition to her husband and parents, she is preceded in death by her son: William C. Faucette; her granddaughter: Karen Lewis: her son-in-law: Larry D. Lewis; three brothers and three sisters.
