Faye True Stacey passed away peacefully in the company of loved ones on April 22, 2023, in Hyde Park, NY. Born in Waltham, MA, on September 19, 1943, she was the daughter of the late William A. and June B. True.
After graduating from Watertown High School, Watertown, MA, in 1961, Faye completed her studies at the Stenotype Institute of Boston.
She married Allen E. Stacey of Lexington, MA, on March 23, 1963, at the First Baptist Church of Belmont, MA. Faye and Allen were married for 60 years living on the east coast as Allen served in the Navy.
Faye was a kind, caring and generous woman who always had a song in her heart. She had a strong Christian faith which she passed on to her family. Faye attended church, sang in the choir, and volunteered on several committees. She loved gardening and received a certificate of Master Gardener in Newport, RI. She enjoyed the beauty of nature and the companionship of golden retrievers. Her favorite place to spend time was on the lake in Maine with loved ones. In addition to gardening, Faye’s creative spirit was expressed through her love of quilting. Her quilts were works of art and expressions of love for those who received them.
Faye worked at several companies while raising two children ending as executive secretary to Child & Family Services of Newport County, Rhode Island, and Pro Change Behavior Systems in Narragansett, Rhode Island.
Her family would like to give special thanks to all the caregivers during recent years who helped her to live comfortably at home.

Her presence will be missed but her memory, love, and legacy of faith will live on in our hearts.
