She spoke her mind and rarely met a stranger. She lived to see and experience many things in life and loved to talk to people and tell stories of days gone by. She enjoyed working in the garden and in her flowers and sitting on her front porch. She had a special love for her family like no other and loved them with all her heart. She worried so much about others, but she can worry no more as now she is their guardian angel. She had a faithful cat as a companion, Dusty, that she adored and that adored her, and shed tell you she would take nothing for her cat. Everyone that came in contact with Maw received a blessing in one way or another, and she will be sadly missed. The love and memories she shared with her family will always bring a smile to her familys faces. She was truly one of a kind. Survivors include her son: Marvin (late Alma Jean Fautt); grandchildren: Dwight (Pat) Fautt, Glenn Fautt, Ginger Mills, and Rhonda Fautt; great grandchildren: Leslie (Rob) Milner, Naquina Brannon, Chelsea Mills, Chad Mills, Beth Brumit, Brandon (Allison) Harris; great-great grandchildren: Austin Cagle, Tatan Cagle, Lexie Cagle, Emma Brumit, Abby Brumit, Will Milner, Avery Milner, Tommy Harris, and Lauren Harris. She was the daughter of the late Jim and Winnie Fautt.
