Mrs. Evelyn Faye Berch was born on Aug. 14, 1938, in Jefferson Davis County to Reggie Dennis and Mattie Laura Slay Berry.  Faye loved her children and grandchildren immensely.  She relished being in each of their lives; creating what is now a gallery of priceless memories.  In addition, she possessed the gift of hospitality. Many happy hours were passed as Faye entertained her friends; laughing and enjoying conversation over a good meal.  She also loved meeting new people and was known for her trademark saying, “tell me your story.”  Faye also had a passion for quilting and sewing for the public in former years.
