Elizabeth Faye Brown, age 81, passed away quietly on November 30, 2018 at the Azalea Health and Rehab Center in Wilmington, NC. Faye was preceded in death by her parents, Roland Lawrence Brown and Lora Mae Bordeaux Brown of Bolton, NC, and a sister Betty Brown Vincent of Wilmington. She is survived by her twin Sister, Bonnie Brown Cooper Warwick of Wilmington, and sister Nora Brown Bednarczyk of Wilmington, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Faye was extraordinarily talented and took great pride in her needlework and making gifts for others. She spent her days crocheting and visiting with all who stopped by to admire her work. She was quite an entrepreneur, organizing Christmas craft shows at the nursing home each fall where she showcased and sold her handiwork. Since childhood Faye has enjoyed playing the piano and singing hymns. From 1991 to 1998, Faye was a faithful volunteer at New Hanover Regional Medical Center where she enjoyed delivering flowers and mail to patients.

Faye’s joyous spirit, sense of humor, devotion to family, and love of her Savior Jesus Christ defined her being.

    As a child, I loved exploring the Cape Fear Hotel Apartments with Aunt Faye, she so enjoyed showing me off to her neighbors. Listening to her play her old piano and sing. Through a child’s eyes, I enjoyed listening to Faye’s stories. She loved children and babies so much. The baby blankets she made my own children were made with such care. She loved showing visitors her beautiful works of art and explaining who was making something for. Aunt Faye, hope you get to sing hymns up in heaven!

    Remember Faye from her years of volunteering at New Hanover Regional. Have such fond memories of her sweet personality and her love of everyone she met. Visited her at Cape Fear Apartments to be awed by all her creative talents.

    My knowledge of Faye during my life was that I never heard a word from anyone that was negative about this lady. Also, she was always doing things to help others. A really great lady!
