Fay spent several years as a child on Firestone's Harbel Plantation in Liberia, West Africa, having many adventures. She lived and traveled in West Germany with her family while Ed was assigned there with IBM as well as a trip to Australia. Fay and Ed visited Dave and family in China and traveled by train across the entirety of Russia, as well as taking many other trips. Fay loved cooking and her indoor plants and gardening as well as traveling with them, especially all the raucous trips to the Outer Banks with family including grandchildren and parents. But most of all she loved spending time with her family.
