She was born July 21, 1912, in Gallia County, daughter of the late Noah and Mary Danner Houck.

She is survived by two sons, Paul E. Rees of Dayton, and Gene (Janet) Rees of Bidwell; two grandsons, Nick (Lynn) Rees of Westerville, and Todd (Sharon) Rees of Williamsburg, Va.; and two great-grandsons, Sam and Levi Rees of Williamsburg, Va.

Faye will be remembered by many for the bakery she operated in her home from 1941 until she was in her late 80s. Many marriages started with her wedding cakes and many holidays were celebrated with her pies and cakes.
