She was married for 49 years to the love of her life, Alfestus Faircloth. She enjoyed cooking, making ceramics, grapevine wreaths, quilting, growing flowers, and traveling.  She especially enjoyed going to the NC State Fair where she always won stuffed animals because they always under guessed her age.  She never met a stranger and enjoyed gospel music, especially by her daughters.  She dearly loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and was a member of Hollands’ Chapel Pentecostal Holiness Church. She was preceded in death by her husband; sons, Alfestus Faircloth Jr. and Festus Devon Faircloth; grandsons, Ryan Arthur Faircloth and James Isaac Shelton; brothers, Alton, Randall, Vinson, Ernie, Lanier, Oscar, Liston, and Lathan Spell; and sisters, Mae Olive Matthews, Almeta Bellamy, and Muriel Willis.
