Helen Faye Sullivan, 88, departed this life on June 24, 2011, at Jefferson Regional Medical Center.
She was fondly remembered by family, friends, and colleagues, whose lives were touched by her generous and compassionate spirit.
Faye was one of five children born to William Edward and Velma Tubbs Moses in Drew County, Arkansas.
She grew up there and graduated from Drew Central High School. Faye earned her BA Degree with High Honors from the University of Arkansas at Monticello. Later she received her MA Degree in Education from the University of Arkansas.
Being an educator was Faye's career and her calling. She taught for several decades in the Pine Bluff School District and became its first Certified Reading Consultant. She believed education, especially reading, was life-changing, and she demonstrated this with the generations of students she taught. After retiring from teaching, she volunteered at schools and the Pine Bluff Public Library in support of their reading activities. The Shepherd Center honored Faye for her years of teaching Jewelry Making and Basketry Classes.
Faye was a member of the National Education Association, the Arkansas Education Association, the Pine Bluff Teacher's Association, and the Jefferson County Retired Teacher's Association. She was a founding charter member of Delta Kappa Gamma, Alpha Lambda Chapter. She was a member of the American Association of University Women and was a member of Lakeside United Methodist Church.
She is survived by her daughter, Carolyn Smith of Pacific Grove, California; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother, William Don Moses, and three sisters, Vonnie Oliver, Hazel Boone, and Jennie Mae Moses.
Funeral services were in the Chapel of Ralph Robinson & Son. Interment was in McGehee Cemetery in McGehee, Arkansas.
