Beulah Faye Childers Cartrite

There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but "Nana Faye" surpassed them all. Jesus was her first love, followed by Kent and then her large family. She worshipped God with all of her heart and loved others in the most excellent ways. Her physical presence radiated the kindness of Jesus and she actively and tangibly demonstrated Gods love for others. She fiercely loved her family with a patient, steadfast love. For her grandchildren, she was our first best friend. She cried when we cried, hurt when we hurt and was proud over every success! She kept secrets and shared secrets. She taught us to cook and let us make a mess in her kitchen. She tirelessly chronicled each of our lives with pictures and scrapbooks. She had a passion to share family history and genealogy. Strangers and friends alike were always welcome at her table, and with true southern hospitality, not one left hungry. She was known for taking what was in her refrigerator and creating a home-cooked meal in a moment's notice. Her energy was contagious! Even recently, she participated in Bible studies in hopes of cultivating a deeper relationship with the Lord. She possessed the type of tenacious, persevering spirit needed to raise 5 boys...especially her particular five boys! Throughout life, she believed the best about people. She forgave with an open heart. She didnt bear grudges. She served with endless joy. The proverbial net of love she casted while on Earth was wide and reached many. She was a true example of a Godly wife and friend. Through her influence, a legacy of love remains. Faye Cartrite was classy...timeless...and precious. She made life beautiful. Her legacy will long live on! Beulah Faye Childers Cartrite was born on April 20th, 1932 to A.F. and Geraldine Childers in Dalhart, Texas.
