Faye Thompson
Faye Thompson , 80, of Beaver, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, November 26, 2023.
Born on June 29, 1943, in Rochester, PA, she was the daughter of the late Ruth and Paul Marietta. She retired from the Rochester Area School District where she worked as a secretary for over 30 years.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ralph E. Thompson; sister, Paula Rae Hupp; and her beloved Boston Terrier, Buddy.
Faye will be sadly missed by two daughters and sons in-law, Tami (Bill) Riggle, South Beaver, PA, and Susan (Jim) Weido, Beaver, PA, her grandchildren; Matthew (April) Riggle, Hopewell Twp., PA, Jamie (Guy) Jackson, Ohioville, PA, Louis (Rachael) Didio, Beaver, PA, Andrew (Codi) Didio, Beaver, PA, Andrew Weido, Louisville, KY, and Jordan Didio, Springfield, MO; great-grandchildren, Dylan, Aiden, Chase, Louie, Rylie and Sammy. She is also survived by her lifelong best friend, Ann Nicgorski, New Brighton, PA; and her beautiful Ragdoll cat, Miss Stormy Blue.
Faye lived a full life. She and her husband traveled to places some people only dream of. She loved to listen to the music of Andrea Bocelli and Alan Jackson. She was an avid reader, loved to shop at Boscov’s and dine at Bert’s Wooden Indian. Her grandchildren were the light of her life. They affectionately called her “GG” and they absolutely adored her.
She was a special lady who always put her family first. Her family honored her and celebrated her beautiful life at a surprise 80th birthday party at the Wooden Angel. She had the time of her life.
God saw you getting tired, And a cure was not to be; So he put his arms around you, And whispered, “Come to me”. With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away; Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
The family sends their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Monica Farland, Dr. Suiwen He, Dr. Justin Miracle, Dr. Grace Tarabay, Ginamarie Thomas, MSW, and Dr. Jeff Yakish.
