Fayetta Charloe Babby
”1946 - 2019”



    Fayetta Charloe Babby

    I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death.
    They continue to participate in every act,
    thought and decision we make.
    Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.
    We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been
    enriched by having shared their love.
      Leo Buscaglia

      She was an enrolled member of the Seneca Cayuga Tribe.
      Faye was educated in the Bureau of Indian Affairs, (BIA), school system
      and graduated from the Chilocco Indian School. After graduating from the
      University of Oklahoma, (always a Sooner fan), she was responsible

      in Sacramento until her retirement in 2006. Faye was a very talented person.
      She loved to sew and was famous for making tribal shirts and skirts
      and costumes for her grandkids' plays. Flowers were her specialty and she
      could make orchids grow forever. She also loved to travel, and she and Will
      went all over the world; from New Zealand to Italy and during the last years,
      three trips to Cabo San Lucas.
      Faye is survived by her loving husband, Will, and her daughter Shawn.
